Retired economist spared jail for five-year pension scam

Liliana Etropolska with an address at Kiltegan Crescent, Rochestown Road, Cork, was given an 18-month jail sentence suspended on condition that she would leave Ireland within seven days.
Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin said the only reason the 70-year-old was not getting a prison sentence was because she had brought the full amount of €45,000 to court to compensate the State for everything she stole.
