Breast-cancer fraudster couple's appeal dismissed

The Court of Criminal Appeal has dismissed an appeal by a consultant surgeon and his wife against their convictions for defrauding almost €750,000 from insurance companies through a false breast cancer claim.

Today the three-judge court, with Mr Justice Nicholas Kearns presiding and sitting with Mr Justice Declan Budd and Mr Justice Michael Hanna, held that the convictions Emad and Gehan Massoud, who have dual Irish and Egyptian citizenship, are safe.
