John Bowe and Denis Casey had their conspiracy-to-defraud convictions upheld by the Court of Appeal on 30 June 2017.

The men had appealed against convictions arising from a Dublin Circuit Criminal Court trial. The Court found the trial judge’s directions and rulings were proper, and dismissed both appeals.

Bowe and Casey had each received a prison sentence for the offence before appealing. The judgment said the severity of those sentences remained an issue depending on the appeal’s outcome.
