Dungannon Magistrates Court
A major fraud case against a woman accused of offences including forging a false invoice, bank statements and a legal practising certificate is finally set to go ahead after the accused was returned for trial.
Mary Louise Quinn (39), from Limehill Road in Pomeroy, faces a total of 12 charges comprising six counts of forgery, three of making or supplying articles for use in fraud, and single counts each of fraud by abuse of position, possessing articles in connection with fraud, and obstructing police.
It is alleged Quinn abused her position in which she was expected to safeguard the financial interests of QB Contracts Limited by submitting a false application for finance from Praetura Asset Finance Limited.
It is further alleged she forged invoices, bank statements and a legal practising certificate and made email accounts in the names of a number of people.
Quinn is also accused of having three false product identification numbers and filing guarantee and indemnity forms signed by two people and witnessed by a third.
Offending is alleged to have occurred over various dates in 2018.
The count of obstructing police relates to November 17, 2020.
A prosecuting lawyer told Dungannon Magistrates Court there is a case to answer, which was agreed by District Judge Francis Rafferty.
Quinn spoke only to confirm her identity and that she understood the charges.
She declined to call witnesses or give evidence on her own behalf at this stage in proceedings.
Judge Rafferty remanded her on £500 bail to appear for arraignment at Dungannon Crown Court on February 4.
