‘Scoping’ exercise underway on suspected €400k fraud

The Garda fraud squad is to be called in once a "scoping" investigation has been conducted into a suspected €400,000 fraud at a credit union.

The Larkhill and District Credit Union in Whitehall, north Dublin, alerted local gardaí about the matter at the end of last year.

While examinations are ongoing, sources said it spans a period of 10-11 years, from 2002/2003 until 2013, involving monies in the region of €400,000.
