investigation into an alleged multi-million euro fraud in funds which AIB acquired from Anglo Irish Bank has been started by the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation.
The probe is centred on a former senior official at Anglo who is believed to have stolen about €3m from deposit accounts.
That man has since passed away, reports RTE.
The theft was discovered by AIB, after a customer tipped the bank off about something unusual in a deposit account. AIB then made the Central Bank and Gardai aware of it.
AIB has said that no customers will be financially affected by the theft.
The bank said yesterday that it has already started its own investigation to see if any fraud occurred in what it says is a small number of transactions concerning certain discrete funds.
AIB bought about €8.6m in deposit funds from Anglo in February
