A MAN HAS been charged in connection with an ongoing investigation into international invoice redirection frauds.
The man, aged in his late 20s, was arrested by gardaí yesterday and has since been charged.
He is due to appear before Criminal Courts of Justice at 10.30am today.
The man was arrested during a garda operation in the west Dublin area yesterday morning.
During the course of this ongoing investigation, gardaí established that funds amounting to €430,000 were transferred in fraudulent transactions from companies in Ireland, Spain, Belgium and the UK.
THE owner of a chain of pharmacies has been sent forward for trial accused of deception to obtain payments from the HSE’s Primary Care Reimbursement Service (PCRS).
The scheme is responsible for making payments to healthcare professionals, like GPs, dentists and pharmacists, for free or reduced costs services they provide to the public.
John Corr (55), of Vergemount Hall, Clonskeagh, Dublin 6, was charged earlier with 30 counts of deception at a number of chemist shops in 2016.
The offences are under the Theft and Fraud Act.
The pharmacist appeared again at Dublin District Court today to have the prosecution’s book of evidence served on him. Evidence on a USB memory stick was also furnished to the defendant.
