前牧师Ebenezer Oduntan因从教堂侵吞125 000欧元而被判处徒刑,刑期从7年减为6年。 Former pastor Ebenezer Oduntan's prison sentence for embezzling €125,000 from his church was reduced from seven to six years.

前牧师Ebenezer Oduntan的七年监禁被减少到六年,最后六个月被暂停,此前上诉法院维持了他的87起盗窃和欺诈定罪的严重性,但发现原来的判决"有点过高". Oduntan从2010年到2020年领导了基尔代尔县的大卫城教会,通过滥用教会资金用于个人开支和膨胀捐赠索赔来获得税收退税,挪用了约125,000欧元. Former pastor Ebenezer Oduntan had his seven-year prison sentence reduced to six years with the final six months suspended after the Court of Appeal upheld the seriousness of his 87 theft and fraud convictions but found the original sentence “somewhat too high.” Oduntan, who led the City of David Church in County Kildare from 2010 to 2020, embezzled about €125,000 by misusing church funds for personal expenses and inflating donation claims to secure tax rebates. 法院承认他严重违反了信任,特别是因为受害者是他本人的教区居民,并批评他迟到的认罪,这延长了审判时间,妨碍了归还财产。 The court acknowledged his breach of trust was severe, especially as victims were his own parishioners, and criticized his late guilty pleas, which prolonged the trial and prevented restitution. 上诉没有指出先前的定罪和没有减轻处罚,但减刑的目的是支持康复,同时保持问责制。 The appeal noted no prior convictions and the absence of mitigation, but the reduced sentence aims to support rehabilitation while maintaining accountability.
