Lawyer jailed for human trafficking

A Nigerian lawyer who lives in County Wicklow has been jailed for four years by Judge Martin Nolan at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court for trafficking illegal immigrants into Ireland.

Olaitan Ilori, a father of four, of Oak Drive, Blessington was convicted by a jury earlier this month on twelve counts of organising or knowingly facilitating on October 27, 2004, the entry into the State of twelve adult Mauritian nationals whom he knew or had reasonable cause to believe were illegal immigrants.
