A convicted UK serial fraudster branded by a judge as a “menace to financial institutions”, and who’s disqualified as director there, has just set up a public limited company in Ireland, the Irish Independent has learned. Being disqualified from acting as a director in another jurisdiction does not automatically mean that a person cannot act as a company director in Ireland. The other purported directors of the firm Mr Ahlbeck has established here could not be verified by the Irish Independent. Following a 2014 conviction in the UK, a judge described Mr Ahlbeck – then Miles Prestland-Windsor – as a “miserable fantasist” and an “expert con merchant”. The court heard that Mr Ahlbeck was a “very damaged young man”.
