Ireland Two Longford women charged over fraudulent transactions on stolen Revolut card
Two women, Sylvia Nevin, 34, and Winnifred Nevin, 32, also known as Winnie Mooney, were charged over a string of transactions allegedly made on a stolen Revolut card at several shops in Longford town on 6 March 2022. The card was allegedly taken from a male victim inside a fast food restaurant, and the alleged transactions caused a loss of €234. Judge Bernadette Owens accepted jurisdiction so the case could be dealt with at District Court level. At a later sitting, neither woman could pay money to the court, and the judge warned that the case would be finalised with no restitution and a sentence applied if no money was in court. Both women were remanded on continuing bail to a sitting of Longford District Court on 21 November.
