It is alleged that the juvenile allowed their bank account be used for fraudulent means where an invoice re-direct fraud had occurred and over €12,000 was transferred to this youth’s account.
A garda spokesman said: “This youth was arrested on May 30, 2021 and was detained at a Garda in West Cork under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984. They were later released without charge and a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.”
