TWO MEN HAVE been arrested by gardaí attached to the National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB) today as part of a fraud investigation in a number of counties.
The two men, aged in their 30s and 60s, are being questioned at Waterford garda station.
Their arrests follow another arrest in this investigation of a man in his 40s last month. The man had been reported by his former employer, accused of falsifying records and deceiving applicants into believing he had processed their financial applications.
Gardaí said this fraudulent activity involved using the personal details of current employees without their authorisation.
Further to this, it is alleged the man attempted to destroy evidence of this criminal activity. Gardaí said corrupt payments, totalling €17,000, were also made in the form of bribes in order to conceal the criminal activity.
Searches were carried out earlier this year by the GNECB in Dublin, Waterford, Wicklow and Meath, with files and electronic storage devices seized.
Gardaí today said investigations are ongoing.

Eir still doesn’t give Ball Ox about their customers. Thanks, Helen.
@Paul Gorry: she took court action against Eir on behalf of consumers yet it’s her fault their customer service is bad?
@JoeJoe Kilbride: I phoned Eir ( Customer Service) on Monday (after 19 days without broadband) – it had been restored last Thursday. At the time I found it easy to report the fault. I had a bit of a wait which was understandable post storm. I got through straight away on Monday and their operator was extremely polite and offered me a €35 discount which was implemented by the time the call was over.
never heard of her, another bureaucrat on the civil service gravy train no doubt, getting paid fortunes to spin around on their office chairs all day while watching YouTube
@qffaffaf affrafrfraf: So you do have an opinion on someone you don’t know. You must have a crystal ball. Perhaps shove it up your hole, that’ll do you good.
@Fliep Flap: He’d have to pull his head out of his hole first
@qffaffaf affrafrfraf: you never heard of her doesn’t mean she was doing a great job. She’s been high profile and was a great data protection commissioner. You wouldn’t have read about her on the betting pages.
@BillyBones: well said.
@Fliep Flap: but aside from that she’s still not much use to the public?
I hope she is going back to her previous job as data commissioner because she was great in that.
Is she relevant to John Dixon-Cider?
@Joe Willis: No, the Dixon-Bulmers!
@Joe Willis: Check porn hub joe. I’d recon deffo not.
@Paul Gorry: I beg your pardon
@Joe Willis: Please don’t beg joe. Check porn hub for that one.
Alo Alo Alo who is this.
@Phillip Smyth: Pierre le pew. Alo..
