An Irish man has been questioned about an elaborate coronavirus scam involving 1.5 million euro.
It began when German officials needed to order millions of face masks to help in the fight against Covid 19.
An Irish intermediary put a German company in touch with a Dutch one to place an order for 11 million masks - but the order was fake.
A 1.5 million down payment was made for the delivery of some of the masks to an Irish bank account based in Roscommon.
Gardaí interviewed a man on Friday and the investigation is continuing.
