A woman who pleaded guilty to allowing her bank account and passport to be used by others in a "very complex scam" says she did so because she was in fear.

Felecia Junaid, 20, appeared before Bandon District Court on a charge of money laundering after gardaí found that others had intercepted an email exchange between a woman in Kinsale and the caretaker of her property in France, and defrauded her of thousands of euro.
