Drumm granted relaxation in bail conditions
Summary
David Drumm, former chief executive of Anglo Irish Bank, was granted a one‑day relaxation of his bail conditions by Judge Melanie Greally. The court heard that Drumm, aged 49 and residing in Skerries, Co. Dublin, is charged with 33 counts under two separate bills relating to alleged offences at the now‑defunct bank. He has not yet entered a plea. Two trials are scheduled: the first on 24 April next year, where he faces charges of conspiring to defraud depositors and investors by creating a false impression that 2008 deposits were €7.2 billion larger, and a charge under the EU transparency directive; the second in January 2018, where he faces 16 counts of offering unlawful financial assistance to members of businessman Sean Quinn's family and 10 other individuals, plus 14 charges of falsifying documents. The April trial is expected to last about three months, while the January trial is expected to last about two months.
