A money mule who allowed €1,700 in fraud proceeds to pass through her Revolut account after being "taken advantage of' by a friend has been sent for a probation report at Tallaght District Court. Sharon Shadiya (22), of Drumcairn Avenue, Tallaght, Dublin 24, pleaded guilty to a money laundering offence arising from an incident on June 15, 2023. The court heard that €1,700 was credited to Shadiya’s Revolut account before being transferred on to another account. Detective Sergeant Mick Ormsby told the court that the two injured parties had since been reimbursed by their banks. He said Shadiya was taken advantage of by a male friend, who told her he needed to use her Revolut account to make a purchase online.
