There was no appearance in court for the couple when the case returned on Wednesday. Ms Pejovic is currently on maternity leave and believed to be in Croatia while Mr Pejovic is still here, the court heard. Mr Justice Oisín Quinn continued Friday’s freezing order, pending determination of the proceedings, but varied it to allow for the situation where the defendants may be entitled to pay ordinary debts and living expenses. He also gave the Pejovics liberty to apply to the court in that regard.
Her husband was joined as a defendant as he was “bound up in this fraud”, said Frank Kennedy BL, for BC McGettigan. It was also discovered she allegedly sent a large number of emails, including copies of the company payroll and procurement database, to her husband. It was also alleged there was a forged tenancy agreement created by Ms Pejovic for a property in Dubai and which Mr Pejovic was named as the landlord.
