Dublin-born Garland, who now lives in Navan, Co. Meath, heard an affidavit during the court case from Brenda Johnson, assistant U.S. attorney, in which she claimed that a co-conspirator told investigators that he purchased $250,000 of “supernotes” from “the Garland organization” which were redistributed into the world economy through currency exchanges across Europe.

Lawyers for Garland argued in court that he was accused of a trans-national conspiracy, but the charge fell under Ireland’s forgery or money laundering laws. He should therefore be tried in Ireland rather than be extradited.
