Former Tesco executive jailed for defrauding company

A Tesco executive who defrauded the company of more than €100,000 to cover the cost of his holidays has been given a four year sentence with the final two-and-a-half years suspended.

Paul Slevin (aged 47) inflated the cost of a work trip to South Africa to pay for holidays for himself, family and friends to locations including Portugal, Dubai and the Rugby World Cup in France.
