Irish actress 'told a pack of lies' to tax inspectors

An Irish actress was jailed today along with four other fraudsters who pretended to be making a Hollywood blockbuster as part of a £2.8m (€3.3m) VAT and film tax credits scam.

Inspectors were told that A-listers from Hollywood would be starring in a £19.6m (€23m) production that would be shot in the UK.
