A man aggrieved at debts he had run up paying for his wedding took out a €12,000 loan in his former wife’s name after the breakdown of their relationship. Mohammed Umer Akram (31) used the money to pay off wedding debts and buy himself clothes and a car.
Akram, of Whitethorn Park, Palmerstown, who is originally from Pakistan, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to dishonestly obtaining the loan from Ulster Bank.
Judge Martin Nolan imposed a three- year sentence, which he suspended in full on condition that Akram hand over €4,000 within one week and a further €5,000 within one year.
