Read the full judgment text of DCCC 351/2020 on BabelCite. This District Court judgment was delivered on 25 June 2021.

1. Though she is found to be a credulous and unsophisticated person, the fact remains that she had allowed D1 to virtually dictate to her how to operate Account 3 on numerous occasions without checking D1’s purchase receipts or the origin of deposits. Her inaction had misled the prosecution into thinking that the prosecution’s case was stronger.  Her application for costs is therefore denied.
