Former Kilkenny hurler DJ Carey has been charged with a number of counts of deception and forgery as part of an alleged cancer treatment scam.
Mr Carey appeared at Blanchardstown District Court on Friday, where he stood with his hands clasped before him facing Judge John O’Leary.
He is charged with 21 fraud offences – 19 of deception and two of using a false instrument. Among those he is alleged to have defrauded are billionaire businessman Denis O’Brien, retired Wexford hurler Larry O’Gorman and former Clare hurler Tony Griffin.
Mr Carey was granted bail on a range of conditions, including signing on at a Garda station and keeping the gardaí informed about any travel abroad.
