An Armagh businessman was jailed for three years today for false accounting.
Thomas Curran, 60, from Blackwatertown Road was sentenced after a four-year investigation by Customs & Excise officers.
It involved complex fraud centred on false purchase invoices presented as legitimate deductions in the accounts of his business, Curran Waste Disposal Services.
According to Customs there was a revenue loss of more than Stg £1m (€1.5m). Curran who was convicted by a jury last June was sentenced at Belfast Crown Court.
