Former solicitor Michael Lynn appeals his 5.5-year sentence for stealing over €18 million from banks.

Michael Lynn, a former solicitor convicted of stealing over €18 million from six Irish financial institutions during the Celtic Tiger era, is appealing his five-and-a-half-year prison sentence. The Court of Appeal stressed that "Irish society is a victim" of his crimes, which damaged public trust in the legal profession. Lynn obtained multiple mortgages on the same properties, misleading banks. His defense argues for a reduced sentence, but the court emphasizes the broader societal impact of his actions.
