A 33-year-old man has been sent forward for trial over a seizure of weapons, including a blank-firing gun, a crossbow, pepper spray, and a baton, in Dublin.<\/p>\n
Tarek Ouzen, with an address at Clonbanin Cross, Boherbue, Cork, was served with a book of evidence containing 10 charges at Dublin District Court on Thursday.<\/p>\n
He is accused of possessing cocaine, a baton capable of inflicting serious injury, and a lock knife as a weapon at a south Dublin bar on October 22nd, 2025.<\/p>\n
On the same date, it is alleged that at an apartment in Rathmines, Dublin, he had pepper spray, a crossbow, a Sig Sauer P320 air gun, a Bruni blank-firing pistol, blank and spherical projectile ammunition.<\/p>\n
The charges are under the Firearms, Misuse of Drugs, and Firearms and Offensive Weapons acts.<\/p>\n
Judge M\u00e1ire Conneely noted the Director of Public Prosecutions had directed that he face trial on indictment.<\/p>\n
Accordingly, she granted a return for trial order, sending him forward to the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, where the case will be listed for mention on June 25th.<\/p>\n
Legal aid was granted to the accused, who has yet to enter a plea.<\/p>\n
He was warned to notify prosecutors if he intended to use an alibi in his defence.<\/p>\n
Judge Conneely also directed garda\u00ed to furnish the defence with copies of interview videos.<\/p>\n
There was no objection to bail with an independent surety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 33-year-old man has been sent forward for trial over a seizure of weapons, including a blank-firing gun,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":472509,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-472508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/472508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=472508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/472508\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/472509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=472508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=472508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=472508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
