Denis O'Brien's Digicel mobile phone company has won an eight-year legal battle with a US rival it accused of fraud.
The Irish Times reported that Digicel Haiti, one of its most lucrative units, has been awarded more than 10 million dollars in damages against Oregon company UPM Technology and its chief executive, Bruce Tran.
Digicel accused UPM of so-called "bypass fraud", where one telephone company uses technology to override the systems of another to essentially resell its calls for cheap.
During the case, which was first launched in 2015, UPM admitted to engaging in the practice but claimed it did not amount to fraud.
