Cork man behind £20m UK tax scam to seek Supreme Court appeal over pending extradition

A Cork man described as the “controlling mind” behind a £20m tax scam is to seek a Supreme Court appeal over his pending extradition to the UK for failing to pay a confiscation order amounting to almost £13m.

Daniel O’Connell (65), with an address at Ballybrack, Clonlara, Co Clare and Roseneath, Corbally, Co Limerick, had opposed his extradition on several grounds including delay.
