Two people have been jailed for their part a £5 million fraud that “triggered Northern Ireland’s biggest ever tax probe”.
The pair were sentenced on Tuesday as part of a mammoth investigation that saw HMRC investigators use covert surveillance to build their case.
In total 27 people have been sentenced for their part in the tax dodging. In one excerpt from the covert surveillance, at a Belfast accountancy firm, one person is heard to say the office would be an “Aladdin’s cave” for fraud investigators, adding they would “go down in history” if they were ever caught.
