An investigation into alleged perjury regarding Conor McGregor’s unsuccessful civil appeal of a sexual assault verdict has led to legal developments in Ireland.

Two individuals, Samantha O'Reilly and Steven Cummins, have been charged with perjury in a Dublin court. The charges involve allegedly false statements made in affidavits during the appeal process, specifically regarding a claim of a physical altercation involving the claimant, Nikita Hand.

Concurrently, the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (NBCI) is seeking to interview McGregor as part of the inquiry. The investigation follows the seizure of a mobile phone from an associate of McGregor and focuses on whether false statements were submitted during the legal proceedings. McGregor’s solicitor has stated that the fighter is currently in California receiving medical care but has offered to assist detectives once medically cleared to travel.
