Caitriona Shaw received a fully suspended three-year sentence for two counts of invoice redirect fraud at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court. She pleaded guilty to both counts. The proceedings were reported on 6 June 2024.

Judge Pauline Codd set a headline sentence of five years but suspended the three-year sentence in full for three years. Shaw was described as a mere money mule, and the court heard there was no evidence she knew her account was being used for sophisticated theft.

The court heard Shaw had no previous convictions and had not come to adverse garda attention before or since the offence. Most of the money was recovered, although Circle K remained at a loss of €18,180; Judge Codd noted that Shaw had made no effort to repay it.
