Getty ImagesAustralian prosecutors have dropped charges against a Malaysian woman who allegedly withdrew A$4.6m (£2.6m; $3.5m) following a banking error.
Christine Jiaxin Lee, 22, was alleged to have spent much of the sum on luxury items, such as jewellery and handbags.
The money was mistakenly made available to her by Westpac bank. Police had claimed the withdrawals in 2014 and 2015 constituted fraud.
Prosecutors did not give a reason for withdrawing the charges.
Ms Lee’s lawyer, Hugo Aston, said she was relieved.
“She has returned to Malaysia with her family and is happy to be getting back to her normal life,” he told the BBC on Friday.
