To take this thread from the vague to the slightly more accurate;
1. If you know, what is the lowest limit the Gardaí/CAB?Frud Squad will investigate when it comes to fraud?
2. What is the order of the theft - not interested in the specific amount - is it tens, hundreds, thousands of Euro?
3. If the other party is a professional of some sort, is there a representative body to which complaints can be directed?
ONQ.
TBH i don't think it's about the money anymore i think it's more to do with seeing justice done. Unfortunately justice comes with a price tag though!
If it was me i think i would like to see it through too, so i can see where he is coming from- and the same as him i cannot understand how the guards can say it's one thing and the solicitor can say it is another and he is left in limbo.
I agree with ONQ.
From the conflicting advice that he has been given it sounds like it should be a criminal case, but the Garda or Gardai that the victim complained to, declined to take it seriously, probably because the amount was small, or their opinion was that the case was weak, and the DPP would not be interested.
I would advise going back to the Gardai, to a more senior Garda, insist on making a formal complaint and ask for a clear reason why the Gardai will not investigate the matter and send a file to the DPP. If the Gardai give a clear reason why they will not investigate, and are adamant that they will not, then the only route your friend has, is a civil case, and they need to weigh up the pros and cons of proceeding.
I think someone is pulling your leg here or else there is something very fishy about all this.
Who would give original documents to a Garda without making a record of it or demanding a receipt or even record his name?
And what Garda would fail to give a receipt?
ONQ.
