Tax-agency fraud suspect back in court
Amanda Jayne Martin, 41, of Fredericton, was no-show last month but appeared Tuesday
A Fredericton woman for whom an arrest warrant had been issued last month after she didn’t show up in court to answer to fraud and forgery charges was back on the docket Tuesday.
Amanda Jayne Martin, 41, of Biggs Street, was supposed to attend in Fredericton provincial court Dec. 30 to answer to charges alleging she knowingly used a forged cheque belonging to Amal Bensaleh and defrauded the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) of less than $5,000, both in Fredericton on Dec. 31, 2023.
However, when she didn’t turn up, the presiding judge issued a warrant for her arrest.
