Drumm's trial could last up to five months, judge told
Summary
The trial of former Anglo Irish Bank chief executive David Drumm, aged 51, is scheduled to begin on 10 January 2018 and could last up to five months, a judge was told. Drumm, who lives in Skerries, Co. Dublin, faces two charges of conspiring to defraud depositors and investors by creating a false impression that deposits in 2008 were €7.2 billion larger than they actually were, and a third charge relating to the EU transparency directive. He has not yet entered a plea. The court has estimated the trial at three months, but the prosecution has requested that the jury be prepared for a possible five‑month duration and that the jury panel be expanded to 15 members. The defence has agreed to a four‑month availability and has no objection to the five‑month suggestion. The matter was adjourned for a pre‑trial mention on 18 December.
