After passing sentence, the judge said he could not imagine a more reprehensible fraud
DJ Carey has been jailed for five-and-a-half years for defrauding twenty-two people out of a total of almost €400,000 by pretending he needed treatment for cancer.

Last week, the court heard how he swindled friends, distant family members, acquaintances and contacts he’d made in sporting and business circles.
