Christian Blanc appeared at Falcarragh District Court on eight separate charges.<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old French national is now to stand trial before Letterkenny Circuit Court.<\/p>\n

All of the alleged offences occurred at the same property at Ballintemple, Falcarragh.<\/p>\n

The charge is Contrary to Section 12(1) b and 3 of the criminal Justice Theft and Fraud Offences Act, 2001.<\/p>\n

He is charged with the same offence two days later at the same address.<\/p>\n

The accused is also charged that on April 28th, 2025, at the same address, he urinated on a couch and an armchair.<\/p>\n
