Twenty-seven sentenced in Northern Ireland’s biggest ever tax fraud case

The ringleaders of a gang who triggered Northern Ireland’s biggest ever tax probe have been jailed thanks to secretly recorded conversations in a bugged accountant’s office. The decade-long investigation into the £5 million tax fraud ended yesterday with prison sentences issued to gang leaders 58-year-old Francis Devlin and 56-year-old Paul McStravick for a combined total of eight years.
