Former Vodafone executive accused of €2m thefts

Additional charges have been brought against a former senior executive at Vodafone Ireland who is accused of stealing almost €2m from the company over four years.

Yesterday, 13 counts of deception were put to Niall Barron, who had previously held the position of head of corporate financial services at the telecoms company. He was granted bail while prosecutors prepare evidence.

The 40-year-old, who has an address at Ard na Cuan in Wexford Town, had first appeared at Dublin District Court in July to face 42 charges under the Theft and Fraud Offences Act.
