More Irish criminals will face arrest and charges in the coming months, senior sources revealed today after an Irish criminal who was busted by police agencies compromising the EncroChat service earlier this year became the first Irish national to be sentenced in the secretive probe.
Thomas Maher (40) who is originally from Clara, Co Offaly was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday after he pleaded guilty to four counts of conspiracy to commit a crime abroad at an earlier hearing.
He was jailed for 14 years.
“There will be more criminals linked to Maher who are very likely to face serious jail time in the New Year,” a senior source told Independent.ie last night.
