Two jailed for ATM 'skimming'

Two Romanian men who were part of a skimming gang have been sentenced to five years for laundering more than €75,000 and possessing a camera device that was used in the scam.

Vasile Martin and Costel Asimioanei were sentenced last month for their role in an operation in which the president’s husband, Dr Martin McAleese, had his ATM card skimmed by some of the group who later created a copy of his card and used it to withdraw €5,000.

Martin, of no fixed abode, and Asimioanei of Dara Court, Celbridge, both pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court

Judge Yvonne Murphy ordered that the sentences be served concurrently to those imposed last month.
