Biography

Gerry McGeough is an Irish republican who was extradited from Germany to the United States to face weapons charges connected to the IRA. He pleaded guilty and served a US prison term before returning to Ireland in 1996. His German and later Northern Irish imprisonment are separate from this US case.

Cases

Charges: Unlicensed interstate movement of weapons in an IRA arms-procurement prosecution
Incarcerated: April 1994
Released: 1996
Sentence: A three-year term is reported in contemporary accounts; a later appellate history describes a two-year sentence. Research places commencement of the prison term in spring 1994 and return to Ireland in 1996. Earlier bail time is excluded. The exact sentencing day, release day and actual total served remain unresolved.
Charges: US detention on extradition for the pending IRA weapons prosecution
Incarcerated: May 28, 1992
Released: 1992
Sentence: After extradition on May 28, 1992, McGeough was held at the Manhattan Correction Centre before obtaining bail. His later interview describes ten days there. This pretrial episode is separate from his later prison term and excludes German custody and the interval on bail.
