Andrew Martin Jones, director of a Malta-based gaming firm, was arrested and arraigned in court following a complaint from a former customer.
The complaint, which dates back some years, claimed that the gaming company owed the customer a substantial sum in unpaid winnings.
Lawyers for Jones told the court that the €910,000 that was owed to the complainant had been repaid in full and that the complaint had been officially withdrawn.
