Brazilian man with expired visa caught with ‘large quantity' of drugs in Dublin
Juan Souza Gomes provided a false address, resulting in a follow-up search of a home with occupants who "never heard of him" A Brazilian cyclist whose tourist visa expired six months ago was caught with more than €7,500 worth of assorted drugs in a Dublin city centre seizure on Friday, a court has heard. Juan Souza Gomes, 25, provided a false address, resulting in a follow-up search of a home with occupants who "never heard of him", Judge Michele Finan heard. Mr Gomes, with no fixed address, appeared at a weekend sitting of Dublin District Court. The contested bail hearing followed his arrest on the evening of June 13 when he was held and later charged with unlawfully possessing cannabis, cocaine, ketamine, LSD, MDMA, and methamphetamines at Litton Lane, Dublin 1. He is also accused of having the drugs for sale or supply. Store Street Garda Gerard Hanahoe alleged the accused who was on an e-bike was "caught red-handed" after being seen conversing with another unknown male, and money was handed over. The garda approached and tried to detain the second man, but he fled. Searching Mr Gomes's backpack led to the large quantity of drugs, it was claimed. Garda Hanahoe said the accused claimed in his interview that "he found the backpack minutes before gardai arrived". Dublin District Court News in 90 Seconds - June 18th However, CCTV evidence showed him with a backpack at all times, the court heard. The officer informed the court that Mr Gomes came to Ireland in 2024 on a temporary tourist visa, which had expired six months ago. He voiced concerns about the man's credibility, fearing he would evade justice if granted bail after he provided a false address. As a result, gardai especially obtained a warrant to search that residence, "and the occupants had no idea who he was". Defence counsel Kevin McCrave, instructed by solicitor Michael French, said his client could now disclose he lived at Frederick Lane, Dublin 1. However, while agreeing Mr Gomes had the presumption of innocence, the garda countered that the accused had no fixed address or family in the country and was unlawfully in the State. The barrister said the case could still be dealt with at the District Court level, but the judge said that was speculative. Mr McCrave, pleading for bail, said the man's partner was in Dublin, and she had his passport. Judge Finan stressed that the Gardai had to investigate the address mentioned in the exchanges between the defence and Garda Hanahoe. She set Mr Gomes's bail in his bond of €700 but required a confirmed address and approval of an independent surety who must lodge €7,000 before he can be released. Once the terms have been met, he must surrender his passport and not use any bicycle, e-bike, motorcycle or e-scooter. He was remanded in custody with consent to bail to appear again this week. The charges are under sections 3 and 15 of the Misuse of Drugs Act. Mr Gomes, who listened to the proceedings with the help of a translator, was granted legal aid. Directions from the DPP must be obtained.

Angel Gomes lauds Sir Alex Ferguson's ‘perfect' Man Utd rule that all players followed and club won't get rid of
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ANGEL GOMES has hailed Sir Alex Ferguson's Man Utd kit policy that keeps young stars grounded. Gomes, 24, is closing on a free transfer switch to Marseille from Lille, but holds his Carrington routes close to his heart. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Angel Gomes is closing in on a move to Marseille from Lille Credit: Getty 4 Sir Alex Ferguson implemented a series of rules that are still in place even now at Old Trafford Credit: Getty Images - Getty Fergie famously BANNED academy players from wearing anything other than old-school black boots while representing the club, and the policy remains in place even now. Gomes told the BBC that Fergie's ruling was "perfect", and instilled a sense of togetherness across the junior teams. He said: "You would play against other teams and they'd be wearing colourful boots that you wanted to wear, because your idols wore colourful boots. "But thinking about it now, it was perfect because they wanted everyone to be the same." The Man Utd way is drilled into players from the day they enter the building, with players told to earn the right to wear flashy boots once they make it into the first-team. Speaking to The Sun back in 2019, then-Man Utd star Scott McTominay said: "I probably couldn't tell you one player in the club who likes wearing black boots. "But it was the rules and something accustomed to every academy player and if someone tried to come out in red boots it's like 'you're no different to any of us so get your black boots back on until you earn the respect and right to wear coloured boots'. 'I didn't like the black boots. But you had to do it. You had to respect the rules.

He added: "Whenever we were growing up here, the main thing that was being spoken about here was being a good person first and foremost. Former Man Utd star subbed off after 20 minutes then red carded on bench in nightmare Club World Cup debut 'You don't realise at the time how much little things like that at the time are going to help you." McTominay and Gomes both came through the Carrington ranks alongside Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Brandon Williams. Reflecting on his time at Old Trafford, Gomes admitted that the famous red shirt can weigh heavy on Man Utd players, with countless players thriving upon being freed of it. He said: "Players may have been intimidated or not really know about the weight, what it carries and what it takes. "But ultimately, sometimes, it's down to environment, timing and having the right things in place to help you. "Some players who have left and gone on to do better than when they were at United, there might be things in place at that certain club, at that moment in time, that helped them succeed. "Sometimes it's not as black and white as they failed or they've not held their own there because of the weight of the shirt." Gomes has found his feet away from the spotlight of the Premier League, and earned his first call-up to the England squad at the beginning of the 2024/25 season. He admitted the "difficult" decision to leave Old Trafford has ultimately paid off: "There are a lot of things that pull you towards staying. "But then you have to think about what is right for your career. There were a lot of things I sacrificed."

Angel Gomes opens up on common issue that may have 'intimidated' Man Utd stars
Angel Gomes played just 10 times for Manchester United's first team despite making his debut at 16, but the England international has excelled since moving to France Former Manchester United youngster Angel Gomes believes the weight of the shirt may have stood in the way of some players succeeding for the Premier League club. United finished 16th in the league last season, and will not play in Europe in any capacity next term after losing the Europa League final, but some of their former stars have thrived away from Old Trafford. Gomes is certainly one of that number, impressing at Lille and earning a summer switch to fellow Ligue 1 side Marseille. He will link up there with Mason Greenwood, the former United forward who scored a career-best 22 goals in all competitions last season. Elsewhere in Europe, Scott McTominay enjoyed the best scoring season of his own career last term to help Napoli win Serie A. McTominay's former United team-mate Romelu Lukaku was also part of that title-winning squad, while former United players Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Alexis Sanchez and Matteo Darmian won the same competition with Inter Milan 12 months earlier. ""Players may have been intimidated or not really know about the weight, what it carries and what it takes," Gomes told BBC Sport. "But ultimately, sometimes, it's down to environment, timing and having the right things in place to help you. "Some players who have left and gone on to do better than when they were at United, there might be things in place at that certain club, at that moment in time, that helped them succeed. Sometimes it's not as black and white as they failed or they've not held their own there because of the weight of the shirt." Gomes became United's youngest ever Premier League player when he made his debut at the age of 16, but left in 2020 with just 10 senior outings to his name. His form at Lille really caught the eye, earning him a senior England bow under Lee Carsley, and he maintains it was the right decision to leave Old Trafford. ""It was obviously a difficult process because there are a lot of things that pull you towards staying," he added. "But then you have to think about what is right for your career. There were a lot of things I sacrificed." Gomes thrived for England's Under-21s during his time at Lille, helping the team win the 2023 European Under-21 Championships under Carsley. He made his senior debut under the same manager at the age of 24, featuring in four of the Three Lions' six UEFA Nations League matches in the autumn of 2024. 'He's a player that we're probably not used to seeing in terms of that kind of player," Carsley said upon handing Gomes his first call-up. "But yet when we watched a Portugal team or a Spain team: 'Ah, I really like that No.10. I really like him.' We've got players like that within our pathway that need a chance. 'Angel has had to go to another country to get that. He was such a talent, they had such high hopes for him at Manchester United. He's just had to find a different route to get to where he is. I expect him to go from strength to strength.' Join our new MAN UTD WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Manchester United content from Mirror Football.
