A 28-year-old woman from Marsa, Priscilla Vella was conditionally discharged for three years after she pleaded guilty to defrauding 15 people of €1,169.

The court heard that Ms Vella is an agent for farmhouses in Gozo and she took booking money from the 15 people without actually booking them.

She also pleaded guilty to misappropriating the money.

Magistrate Antonio Mizzi conditionally discharged her for three years after taking into consideration the fact that the money had been paid back to the victims shortly before the arraignment took place.
