A WOMAN charged with five counts of money laundering will return to court in November to have her case heard.
Garda Aisling O’Mahony told Athy District Court how she arrested Donna Marry (32) from The Hastings Avenue, Balbriggan, Co Dublin that morning and Marry “made no reply to charge”, and that the DPP had indicated “summary disposal”, ie. trial in the district court.
It is alleged that on 21 November, 2021 Ms Marry took a phone call from a man who said he was from the Bank of Ireland who said her account had been compromised, and that €3,800 was deposited into her account, which she allegedly put on her Revolut account.
“She was the tail end?” asked Judge Desmond Zaidan.
“Did she co-operate? Give you a name? It’s the same as getting a small-time drug dealer, the main players get away with it, and we’re only catching the foot-soldiers,” he said.
He bailed her until until 12 November for hearing, as long as she sign on once a week, and surrender her passport.
