A man in his 40s was arrested under Operation Shrike for allegedly supplying counterfeit mobile devices, which cost an estimated €10 million to the involved phone company.
As part of the investigation, authorities have frozen 14 bank accounts and seized over €143,000 in cash linked to the counterfeit operations.
Led by the Intellectual Property Crime Investigation Unit, the ongoing investigation aims to tackle significant fraud in the mobile device industry.
The man is being held at a Garda station in Dublin under the Criminal Justice Act, with law enforcement confirming that investigations are still ongoing.
