Businessman jailed over insurance fraud
A Longford businessman was tonight sentenced to two years in jail for staging a road accident between a truck and a car.
Aloysius Manning, (aged 57), from Newtown Forbes, was found guilty by a jury last month of conspiracy to defraud the Guardian PMPA company (now AXA) after he took part in the incident at Anaduff, Drumsna, Co Leitrim, in April 1994.
