Three men arrested for fraud
Three Spanish men have been arrested for submitting fraudulent tax records and forged quotes in relation to a company, the Royal Gibraltar Police confirmed.
The men aged 49 and 50 were arrested on suspicion of fraud on Wednesday morning.
An RGP spokesman said the first arrest followed a report that the man had allegedly forged quotes for a company he is linked to, to be awarded a contract.
The second man was arrested on suspicion of fraud by false representation and an outstanding warrant of arrest.
His arrest followed a report to the RGP that there were alleged discrepancies in a tax return for his company.
The third arrest, within minutes of each other, was on suspicion of two counts of fraud by false representation and a count of fraud by abuse of position.
“His arrest followed a report to the RGP that there were alleged discrepancies in a tax return for a company he is linked to and his personal tax,” the spokesman said.
“In addition, it’s alleged he was awarding work contracts to a company he is linked to for his own gain.”
An RGP investigation is ongoing.
