Two compliance officers at a company in Douglas have been commended after a grain of sand led them to uncover a multimillion pound criminal scheme.Juan Kennaugh of Meenagh Varger noticed the sand on a client’s shoe and knew it was from Dubai but the man insisted he’d flown in from Arizona – ringing alarm bells with the sharp-eyed sand collector.
Just as he tried to do something, however, it was one o’clock and he had to go to that nice place downtown for lunch.
His colleague Katie Quayne said she might “flag it as a possible suspicious transaction report” if he’d sort out her inbox that afternoon.
