Sister Sentenced In £16m Fraud Case
A woman who allowed her fraudster brother to use her bank account has been sentenced.
Carol Kealey, 53, from The Crescent in Coleraine, admitted obstructing police between January 1998 and January 2004 and has been given a 12-month conditional discharge.
This follows on from the case last week in which her brother William Ronald Marks pleaded guilty to offences in a £16.2m Ministry of Defence cash-for-contracts case. Two other men also admitted offences in this case and are due to be sentenced next month.
Marks pleaded guilty to 11 counts of corruption by an agent accepting a bribe and three further charges of converting the proceeds of criminal conduct.
Kealey, his sister, had originally been charged with laundering the cash by converting or transferring the funds but those charges were "left on the books".
