Authorised Push Payments Fraud: Banking and Payments Federation Ireland
Ms Niamh Davenport:
I would say banks report all relevant information. I would not know specifically what they would report for each case but I suspect all relevant information is reported. If the gardaí require more information, they will come back to the bank and ask it for additional information. To clarify, a number of years ago, a couple of thousand of cases were reported to An Garda Síochána. It is not just fraud but money laundering and the suspicion of money laundering too. More than 60,000 cases have now been reported to An Garda Síochána for it to analyse and go through.
