Entrepreneur Illann Power is awaiting trial on almost 90 revenue and reckless filing offences. He is seeking to have gardaí held in contempt after gardaí refused to allow him to travel to the US while on bail. Mr Power told the High Court that a lead investigating garda attached to the Corporate Enforcement Authority (CEA) refused to consent to the proposed trip in "retaliation" for him being granted an injunction. The injunction restrains state agencies from destroying or disposing of documents and electronic data relating to his prosecution. The contempt application centers on alleged interference with bail travel conditions and evidence preservation, and raises questions about investigatory conduct.
