Alexandru Tanase (39), of The Wende, is charged with acquiring a credit balance of £140,680.04 in a NatWest account on April 19, 2021.

He is also accused of making a series of bank transfers to various recipients amounting to £137,202 between April 18 and April 24 that year.

And a third charge says Tanase transferred criminal property, namely £4,700, by a bank transaction to Express Remit Ltd on April 20.

The next hearing in the case will be at Lincoln Crown Court on February 22.
