Man who tried to stage car accident jailed for a year

A man who threw himself in front of a car and then claimed damages against the driver has been jailed for a year.

Passing sentence on Friday, Judge Elma Sheahan condemned Alitise’s “premeditated behaviour” which she said caused the victim “significant distress and upset” and “made her life a misery” up until his guilty plea. Judge Sheahan said despite good mitigation, she was compelled to give Alatise a custodial sentence given the effect on the victim and “the necessity, in general, to deter this kind of behaviour”.

Gda Byrne said Alatise made a civil claim to PIAB in October 2016, shortly before the two-year claim window expired. Alatise later wrote to AXA formally withdrawing his claim. He has no previous convictions in Ireland or the UK.
