Three new jurors sworn in for Drumm trial
Summary
Three new jurors were sworn in for the trial of former Anglo Irish Bank chief David Drumm after difficulties arose with three jurors from Monday. Drumm, aged 51 and residing in Skerries, Co. Dublin, has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy charges with former bank officials Denis Casey, William McAteer, John Bowe and others, alleging they defrauded depositors and investors by falsely presenting Anglo's 2008 deposits as €7.2 billion larger than they actually were. He also pleaded not guilty to false accounting for the same claim.

The court noted that overnight three jurors had difficulties, leading to their excusal.
