sundayworld.com

Winnie Lawrence, a 74-year-old conwoman, was released from prison after serving less than 60 days of her two-year sentence for fraud. She was jailed for making false personal injury claims, including €10,000 for a slip and fall in a store. Her family members, including her son Patrick and daughter-in-law Eileen, have also been convicted of similar frauds. Patrick received a two-year sentence, while their sons, Thomas and John, received suspended sentences for their involvement in the scams. Eileen Lawrence will be sentenced next week. The family admitted to making multiple fraudulent claims against insurance companies between 2010 and 2016, with Eileen receiving €15,000 for one successful claim.
