Now released from jail in the US, Irish Navillus executives will fight to clear their names

New York construction kingpins Dónal O’Sullivan and Pádraig Naughton will bid to have their fraud convictions overturned

Navillus executives Pádraig Naughton (financial controller) and Dónal O’Sullivan (former president and CEO) were jailed in the US for their roles in payroll fraud. 

The two Irishmen jailed for a long-running payroll fraud at Navillus, one of New York city’s biggest construction firms, have been released from prison and are now bidding to have their convictions overturned.

Kerryman and father of six Dónal O’Sullivan (62), former president and CEO of Navillus, and Tipperary man and father of two Pádraig Naughton (52), the company’s financial controller, were each jailed for their role in a payroll fraud that ran for more than seven years and deprived unions’ benefits funds of monies due on behalf of Navillus workers.
