Just two tax dodgers jailed in 10 years

ONLY two tax dodgers have been sent to jail in the past ten years after being convicted of serious tax evasion.

Suspected large-scale tax evasion and money laundering through insurance products will be investigated by the Revenue Commissioners in the New Year.

Up to €33 billion was invested in one product, single premium insurance policies, from 1988 to 2001, according to figures from the Department of Finance.
