Woman granted bail charged with deceptively obtaining $4.6m

A SYDNEY woman accused of failing to return $4.6 million wrongly transferred to her bank account in 2012 has been arrested while trying to leave the country.

Federal police detained the 21-year-old woman at Sydney Airport on Wednesday night before she could board a flight to Malaysia.

Charged with dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception and knowingly dealing with the proceeds of crime, she appeared in court yesterday and was granted bail.
