Gama workers not told where wages went

THE Dutch-based bank holding millions in lost wages from thousands of employees of construction giant Gama, yesterday refused to tell workers how their money was being invested.

As revealed in yesterday's Irish Examiner, millions in worker's wages from Gama have been transferred through Dutch-based Finansbank to a mystery third company, despite the fact that workers never knew of the existence of the money.

Under a deal arranged by Gama in 2002, monthly transfers in the names of Gama's workers are immediately transferred from Finansbank to a firm called Ryder Investments.
