€32m. tax evasion, one law for the law ?

JerryP you are stupid.

The Law Society wanted them struck off but the judge wouldn't allow it.

The judges are the filthy scum more than the solicitors.

The sad fact is that corruption that has been highlighted in the solicitor profession has been ignored by the Law Society. Many of these self same soliticitors who are corrupt go on to be Judges. Give the amount of time we have been without adaquate mechanisms for dealing with corruption within the legal profession, its little suprise corruption and those who are corrupted have reach the level of bench.

The Law society has only acted once large corportation have instigated proceedings. They have done and still do nothing to handle public complaints properly.

sod the law society, where the hell is the fraud squad?!?

i know what'd happen to me if i trousered 10 MILLION a year plus from my employer over a three year period. there should be prison sentences here, not a matter of striking off!

in answer to the OP.

YES, thers most certainly is one law for us and one for the law.

Law investigating law and deciding punishment is too much of the old boys network in action. They should be slopping out every morning for a few years and would be if they came from a working class background .

The Law Society asked for them to be struck off. That is as much as they can do.

It is up to the Revenue Commissioners to prosecute people for tax evasion.

Anyone who does get prosecuted by the Revenue after this, will be entitled to feel a little aggrieved, unless they trousered more than €32 million of course.

According to last saturday's IT, if my memory is correct, they setttled with the revenue about 6 or 7 years ago. Can anyone remember /trace an enormous settlement from back then?

Yeah the fraud squad should go in. They aren't exactly proactive though. There have been other cases too, including others with political connections. The Pheonix ran something years ago on a prominent FF solicitor getting away scott free. No report to the High Court, it was all sorted out behind closed doors (and the file was not seen by too many).
