Agata Pracz was given a suspended three-year sentence for dishonestly inducing €8,990 at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 2 June 2016.

She admitted taking the money from Yumi Takekoshi at Dublin Airport on 15 July 2014, after promising access to a container of cash.

The court heard Pracz had posed as a UN diplomat, while the money was later fully repaid.

Judge Patrick McCartan said he had reservations about Pracz’s account but accepted the evidence as presented.
