All of these charges relate to money in a bank account held in the name of Careysfort Asset Estates Limited at Wise Europe SA.
Carey will go on trial with two co-accused, and the case is expected to last between four to six weeks. Her co-accused are John Steadmond, 48, of Rossminogue, Craanford, Gorey, Co. Wexford, and Paddy Maher, 57, of Glenmalure Gun Club, Glenmalure, Wicklow. Catriona Carey. Pic: INPHO/Tom Honan
They are each charged with 17 offences, including unlawfully acting as solicitors and inducing people to pay deposits by falsely claiming that a company called Careysfort Asset Estate Limited was in a position to secure finance for those having difficulties repaying their mortgages.
They have also been charged with making gains for themselves or another, or causing loss to another.
The trial date comes as her brother, former Kilkenny hurling legend DJ Carey, pleaded guilty to defrauding people out of money by falsely claiming he needed to fund cancer treatment.
