Woman faked her own death in bid to escape charges
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: She received a sentence of two years, suspended for 10 years in November 2015 for the theft of just under €111,000 from a former employer. The court also heard that the Director of Public Prosecutions appealed the sentence imposed on McAuley in 2015 on the grounds of undue leniency.; Judge Orla Crowe adjourned the case for finalisation next week.
