Shopkeep jailed for allowing bank account be used in €200k fraud
Summary
Mohammed Nasser Mohiuddin, a 48‑year‑old Dublin shopkeeper, was jailed for allowing his bank account to be used in a €200,000 fraud. He claimed he was promised €10,000 to let the money be transferred into his account, but never received the payment. The fraud involved an "invoice redirect" scheme by Enercon GMBH, a wind turbine manufacturer, where five payments totalling just over €202,000 were sent to Mohiuddin's account between February and March 2017. He pleaded guilty to five charges of handling stolen cash. Judge Melanie Greally described the offence as a significant error of judgment, noting his family responsibilities and business difficulties. Mohiuddin was sentenced to three and a half years, with the final 18 months suspended on strict conditions. The case highlighted the financial pressure that led him to participate in the scheme.
