Woman wanted in UK over £250k fraud claims

The High Court has dismissed a bail application brought on behalf of a wheelchair-bound woman wanted in the UK on fraud charges.

British authorities are seeking the extradition of Yvonne Doyle, who has been remanded in custody at the Dóchas woman’s prison since January following her arrest in Ireland on foot of a European arrest warrant.

Ms Doyle, who denies the charges against her, is accused by the British authorities of fraudulently obtaining a number of payments totalling approximately £250,000 (€315,000) from the UK government.
