James Jordan was warned he faced jail for tax offences at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 20 November 2018, after pleading guilty to submitting incorrect returns, invoices and income-tax relief claims.

The offences involved unpaid capital gains tax on five property sales between 2004 and 2010, along with incorrect VAT and income-tax returns. The court heard that the total owed, including interest and penalties, was €1,236,881.

Judge Sinéad Ní Chúlacháin adjourned the case until 18 January to allow time for a possible Revenue settlement and ordered a community-service suitability report. She said Jordan faced a likely custodial sentence if no agreement was reached.
