Gardaí arrested a suspect over an alleged €1 million fraud – as he “prepared to fly out of the country”, it has emerged.
The Irish Mirror has confirmed that the suspect, who is in his 60s, was arrested at Ireland West Airport in Knock, Mayo early yesterday as he allegedly arrived to take a plane out of Ireland.
He was being questioned last night at Claremorris Garda Station as part of a long-running probe into an alleged scam Ponzi scheme that costs punters some €1.2 million.
