Sean Quinn, the bankrupt tycoon who was once Ireland's richest man, could face jail after being found guilty of contempt of court following a "blatant, dishonest and deceitful" move to block a state bank from seizing property worth hundreds of millions of euros.
Quinn, whose €4bn (£3.2bn) business empire collapsed after a disastrous investment in the now-nationalised Anglo Irish Bank, is being pursued by the bank for debts of almost €3bn and now faces a likely prison term along with his son and nephew, who were also found guilty.
If he is jailed, Quinn, 65, would become the first major player in Ireland's economic collapse to be imprisoned.
