Житель Рила отрицает мошенничество при продаже фургона Ford Transit

A MAN from Rhyl has denied selling a Ford Transit van on a woman’s behalf and keeping the proceeds for himself. James Deeney, 65, of Frederick Street, pleaded not guilty to a charge of fraud by false representation at Mold Crown Court on Friday (September 4). Deeney also denied breaching a suspended sentence order he was given in September 2024 for an offence of fraud by failing to attend a planned office appointment with the probation service. “I completely and utterly deny it,” he said. He will stand trial for both matters at a later date. Deeney appeared in court without legal representation via videolink from custody, having been remanded last week after a warrant for his arrest was executed. His application for bail was refused by Judge Simon Mills. The fraud charge alleges that Deeney agreed to repair the van belonging to Catherine Durrant and sell it on her behalf, only to sell it but to keep the proceeds of the sale for himself. Deeney said he would seek legal representation, telling the court: “I’m getting passed from pillar to post.”
