Low IQ Mother Laundered $1.1M NDIS Cash
28 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Mother with IQ of 71 laundered over $1.1 million.
- She handed out NDIS funds in brown paper bags.
- She received an 18-month intensive corrections order.
Angelina Deliciso, a mother-of-four with an IQ of 71, has been sentenced for her involvement in a scheme that defrauded the NDIS of over $1.1 million. She pleaded guilty to negligently dealing with the proceeds of crime, a charge downgraded due to her limited cognitive function and disadvantaged background.
Deliciso facilitated the laundering of the NDIS funds by withdrawing large sums of cash, totaling $1,122,881.13 within a six-week period in 2018. She then distributed this money in brown paper bags to individuals she believed were construction subcontractors for a company she co-ran.
She was ultimately sentenced to an 18-month intensive corrections order, to be served in the community. The court acknowledged her complex history of trauma and mental health issues, which likely contributed to her negligence in handling the illicit funds.
