Banks alerted as Laois woman in court on money laundering charges

Gardaí at Naas District Court on Thursday, February 10, claimed that a Laois woman took €15,000 in contravention of the Money Laundering and Terrorism Act 2010.

Julia Rusan, with an address at The Gatehouse, Emo, is accused of taking property which was the proceeds of criminal conduct under Section 7 1-A of the Act.
