New Garda IT system for suspect fiscal deals

Banks, credit unions, cash businesses and professions can now report suspicious transactions more easily to specialist gardaí with a new secure online system.

It brings to an end the time-consuming and cumbersome process of completing suspicious transactions reports by hand and posting them to gardaí.

Gardaí said the new system which went live yesterday will also provide feedback to businesses and notify and warn them of money laundering and terrorist financing scams.
