A Cork financial advisor and his son are to face trial accused of laundering more than than £3m arising out of the Northern Bank robbery investigation.

Timothy Cunningham, 60, from Farran in County Cork, faces 20 charges of money laundering.

His son, Timothy John Cunningham, who is 33 and also from Farren, denies two similar charges. The trial is due to start on Tuesday.

It is expected to last between six and 12 weeks.

Up to 250 witness are listed for the case but the lawyers for the various sides may be able to agree to run the trial with fewer witnesses.

More than £26m was stolen from the Northern Bank in Belfast in a robbery in December 2004.
