(Portland, OR) -- Two brothers are facing more than a year behind bars after being convicted of defrauding elderly homeowners in Oregon and two other states. A judge sentenced Patrick and Matthew McDonagh to 18 months in prison last month after they pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in September. Court documents show the brothers posed as home repair contractors to scam elderly homeowners in Oregon, Washington and Illinois. The two are expected to be deported back to Ireland after serving their time.
