Woman arrested in Carrickfergus on suspicion of money laundering and fraud

Officers from the PSNI’s International Policing Unit arrested a woman in the Carrickfergus area on Monday 20th April.

The 42-year-old woman is wanted in Hungary to stand trial for alleged money laundering and fraud offences.


The offences are alleged to have occurred in Hungary in 2024. She was detained on a Hungarian extradition warrant and is due to appear before Laganside Extradition Court this afternoon.

Sergeant Davey from the International Policing Unit said: “Today’s arrest was as a result of an ongoing investigation across Europe into an organised crime group involved in fraud and theft offences.

“In this case we have worked closely with investigators in Hungary and colleagues in the UK’s Joint International Crime Centre.

“Our message is clear, Northern Ireland is not a safe haven for any wanted persons trying to avoid arrest and the consequences of their previous actions. PSNI will work with our law enforcement partners, we will arrest you and we will bring you before the courts.”
