Shamed socialite Marcus Sweeney has boasted how he managed to avoid being detected for allegedly drink driving - by jumping into the back seat of his jeep close to a checkpoint pretending someone else was driving it.
The Celtic Tiger restaurateur- who last month settled a €100k case with the Criminal Assets Bureau by agreeing to hand over 2.78 hectares of land considered the proceeds of crime - said he told a garda at a checkpoint he “had no idea” who was driving his jeep.
The 45-year-old former partner of tragic model Katy French bragged about his ‘achievement’ during a video which he called ‘Gangster stories’ on social media.
