The nationalized Irish national, of Bannog, Dwyers Road, Midleton, Co Cork, was arrested on Tuesday after a major Garda investigation into pandemic unemployment payment claims.
Today, Garda Eimhear Catherine Keesham of the Department of Social Welfare Special Investigation Unit said she did not respond with 21 charges in connection with the PUP’s fraudulent claim.
The Mallow District Court heard that the Nigerian is indicted on the first count of possession without legal authority or excuse of stolen property of € 380.60 in cash knowing it was stolen from the Ulster Bank ATM, on Winthrop Street in Cork City, July 27.
The remaining 20 charges are similar but with different amounts of cash.
They were withdrawn at different ATMs in Cork, Midleton, Carrigtwohill, the Dooradoyle shopping center in Limerick and the Jervis Street shopping center in Dublin.
They refer to a period from July 27 to August 11.
The amount of cash withdrawn from the ATMs ranges between € 350.60 and € 600.60 and some days there were up to three different withdrawals.
