Shoukri denied bail in Belfast

The High Court in Belfast has refused bail to leading loyalist André Shoukri.

Mr Shoukri, with an address in Albert Road, Carrickfergus, has been in custody since last November on charges of blackmail, intimidation and money laundering.

A lawyer for the alleged leader of the UDA in north Belfast was told that he could anticipate a further application if he is not brought to trial soon.
