Carer took €150k from elderly couple and sent cryptocurrency to US soldier she met online

Temporary High Court order granted to freeze assets of accused in a 'bizarre' case involving a 'deplorable breach of trust'

Angela Manning claims she converted the money to cryptocurrency and sent to a soldier in the US.

An elderly and vulnerable couple had more than €150,000 taken from their bank account — the majority of it unlawfully — by a woman they hired to be their carer, the High Court has heard.

In what was described as "a bizarre case" involving an alleged "breach of trust", Laetitia and Enda O'Regan secured a temporary High Court freezing order preventing Angela Manning from dissipating her assets below a value of €150,000.
