Invoices were not from me, businessman tells fraud trial

A Mullingar businessman has told an alleged Ir£151,000 insurance fraud conspiracy trial that invoices purporting to come from him were spurious documents and had not been signed by him.

The jury at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court has heard the invoices were used in insurance claims arising out of what the prosecution claims was "a dramatic accident that never happened" between a Rover car and a Scania truck which towed a lowloader carrying tractor unit and a forklift.
