Fred Forsey
19 May 2012. Former Waterford Fine Gael town councilor has been found guilty of accepting corrupt payments relating to the proposed rezoning of 32 hectares of land near Dungarvan in Co Waterford six years ago.
Fred Forsey (43) received €80,000 in bribes from a property developer in 2006 as inducements or rewards in relation to rezoning of the land on which the proposed development was to be constructed.
Today at Waterford Circuit Criminal Court, a jury of eight men and four women unanimously found him guilty of six counts after just under 2 1/2 hours of deliberation.
