1.5-year jail sentence for company director who stole almost €1m from employer
Summary
Conrad Mason, 46, a former director of C&G Logistics Group, stole €908,652 from his employer between January 2010 and January 2015 to fund alcoholism and gambling. He pleaded guilty to 25 counts of theft and fraud, covering 234 wrongful transactions. The court found the breach of trust severe, damaging the company's cash reserves and the trust of its owner, David Dixon. Mason received a three‑year prison sentence, with the final 18 months suspended, due to no prior convictions and cooperation with the Garda investigation. The sentence reflects the extent of the financial loss and the impact on the company's operations, while acknowledging Mason's lack of previous offences and his willingness to admit guilt. The judgment does not alter the ongoing legal proceedings or any future appeals.
