Businessman Breifne O'Brien will be sentenced next month for stealing and deceiving friends and associates out of millions of euro.
The 52 year old with an address in Monkstown Grove, Co Dublin is facing up to ten years in prison.
Our Courts Correspondent Francesca Comyn reports:
Last week the 52 year old pleaded guilty to 14 sample charges of theft and deception from 2003 to 2008.
He admits defrauding friends and associates like farmer Louis Dowley, and businessman Evan Newell who was duped into handing over nearly 1 million euro for bogus property deals in Hamburg.
