An Australian pensioner managed to defraud $5 million from unsuspecting
victims, including a Saudi Arabian sheikh, in a global internet scam, a NSW
court was told today.

Legal Aid defence solicitor Catherine Colquhoun said her client was a family
man currently surviving on a disability pension.

"His wife and family are in Sydney, he attends church every Sunday and cares
for his sick and elderly parents," Ms Colquhoun said during a bail
application.

She said Marinellis had also been diagnosed with schizophrenia.
