A Dublin woman accused of laundering more than €18,000 in cash through her bank account has been sent forward for trial.
Ruth Dussu (25) was served with the book of evidence when she appeared on bail before Blanchardstown District Court.
The accused, with an address at Lindisfarne Park in Clondalkin, is accused of converting, transferring, handling, possessing or using property, namely €18,369 in cash, which was allegedly the proceeds of criminal conduct.
The offence allegedly took place at a Bank of Ireland within the State on dates between July 19 and July 25, 2019.
Ms Dussu is facing trial in the circuit court, which has tougher sentencing powers, after the DPP ruled that the allegations were too serious for the district court.
A State solicitor said the book of evidence was ready and had been served on the accused, who goes forward to the present sittings of Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Judge McHugh further ordered that a video copy of an interview which gardaí conducted with the accused be provided to her legal team.
Ms Dussu has not yet indicated how she intends pleading to the charge.
Ms Dussu was remanded on the same bail terms to appear before a court in the Criminal Courts of Justice on a date in May.
