German woman supported by daughter in crime (5)
I believe the answer is:
fraud
'crime' is the definition.
(fraud is a kind of crime)
'german woman supported by daughter' is the wordplay.
'german woman' becomes 'frau' (I've seen this before).
'supported by' means one lot of letters go next to another (letters go below - in down clue).
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'frau'+'d'='FRAUD'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for fraud that I've seen before include "Imposter - deceit" , "Criminal deception" , "Diddling" , "Fiddle" , "Charlatan" .)
