Tenerife court dealt with forger (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

counterfeiter

'forger' is the definition.
('counterfeiter' can be a synonym of 'forger')

'tenerife court dealt' is the wordplay.
'dealt' indicates an anagram.
'tenerife'+'court'='tenerifecourt'
'tenerifecourt' is an anagram of 'COUNTERFEITER'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for counterfeiter that I've seen before include "person making money illegally" , "Forger" .)
