Gardaí to seek charges in invoice scam which hit Dublin Zoo

Gardaí are to seek money laundering and theft charges against four members of an organised crime gang involved in defrauding two organisations of more than €750,000.

This includes Dublin Zoo, which was hit last December by a scam costing it around €500,000.

The Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB) has managed to freeze in excess of €300,000 in bank accounts used by the criminal outfit.
