Gardai investigating a bankcard cloning ring say they have evidence that one of the suspects was able to produce false passports and driving licences.
Dublin District Court heard yesterday that post from Iceland containing orders for an Irish passport, a Greek passport and an Irish driving licence was found in a search on Tuesday.
The court was told that a second suspect, a 19-year-old man, was believed to be in a marriage of convenience to an Irish woman for the purpose of securing residency rights in Ireland and that a third, an 18 year-old woman, was planning to enter a similar arrangement.
The court was hearing bail applications for eight people charged with interfering with bank data at ATM machines in O'Connell Street, Dublin, between August 1st and last Tuesday.
Gardai objected to bail in seven of the cases, saying they believed the individuals would try to leave the jurisdiction.
Judge David Anderson released the eighth accused, Mrs Daniela Tatarasanu (28), after gardai accepted an independent surety of £1,500 to allow her to return to her three children.
Her husband, Mr Catalin Tatarasanu (40), was denied bail after gardai gave evidence he had the means to produce fake travel and identity documents.
Three other people, Ms Monica Horvat (17), Mr Ifrim Costel (20) and Mr David Robert, were also denied bail. All three were remanded in custody for a week.
Two more accused, Mr Adrian Timpu (22) and Mr Lucian Mitrache (19), were remanded in custody until next week but Judge Anderson said he would defer a decision on their bail applications.
The court saw bank documents that showed Mr Timpu had sent £10,000 from London to Romania in recent months.
A third woman, Ms Christina Borcea (18), was remanded in custody to this morning when her Irish fiance is due to give evidence on her behalf.
