The 28-year-old brother of a suspect who is at the centre of a €1.1 million alleged fraud from the Dublin based multinational consulting and accountancy firm he worked for has been arrested this morning by fraud squad detectives. The former senior employee’s brother is being questioned at Terenure Garda Station on suspicion of money laundering in relation to “hiding some of the money which was fraudulently obtained” according to a senior source. Investigations by the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB) have established that the former employee’s younger brother was using his bank account to hide sum of the funds which had been obtained. His 34-year-old brother was arrested and questioned last month with a file on the case now being prepared for the DPP. The investigation follows a complaint made by the Dublin based company to the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB) in December.
