Sonya McLeanA woman with previous convictions across four different countries has been jailed for two years after she set up eight bank accounts using fake identifications to facilitate international fraud. The detective said the garda investigation focused on the bank accounts that were opened in Ulster Bank, Allied Irish Bank and KBC. Gardaí suspected Popovici was responsible for opening the various bank accounts. Popovici pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to four charges of using false identification to open bank accounts on dates between October 2016 and October 2018. “She had an awful lot of opportunities available to her,” the judge said before she added that Popovici “used her talents poorly”.
