Jury told evidence points to 'clever and dishonest fraud'

The jury in the €700,000 breast cancer insurance fraud trial has been told by the prosecuting counsel that the evidence could lead to only one conclusion: "This was a clever, elaborate and dishonest fraud."

Mr Dominic McGinn BL was closing the State’s case at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court against a Co Meath couple who deny they defrauded two insurance companies of some €700,000 five years ago.
