€102k taken from bank account, man claims

A man has told a court he never gave permission to a woman to take over €102,000 from his bank account.

Sandra Doyle, aged 37, has denied stealing the money from the AIB account of Fergus Brugha, aged 62, over the course of three years.

The trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard evidence that the disputed transactions include payments to Ticketmaster, online motor tax, a veterinary clinic, a beauty clinic, a Dundrum credit union account, and mobile phone top ups.
