• Man jailed for six years over fraud at Dublin circuit court Fraud

  David Williams, 68, pleaded guilty to posing as a barrister and personal insolvency practitioner through a firm called THL Legal in Rathcoole, Co Dublin, with deception counts covering January 2019 to June 2020 involving around 1,200 people. Co-accused Crystal Talia, 46, originally from Uganda, pleaded guilty to impeding the investigation by allowing Williams to use her bank accounts. Williams also pleaded guilty to defrauding a Galway woman in her 80s into buying a mini-digger for over €7,000. After failing to attend his sentencing at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, a bench warrant was issued and Williams was subsequently jailed for six years, while Talia received a 12-month suspended sentence.
