Former solicitor Michael Lynn, aged 49, was extradited from Brazil to face 21 charges of multimillion‑euro theft at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court. The charges allege he stole nearly €30 million from seven financial institutions, including €4.1 million from Irish Nationwide on 4 April 2007 and €3.6 million from Ulster Bank on 20 October 2006. He was denied bail by Justice Una Ni Raifeartaigh on 6 April. Lynn appealed the refusal in the Court of Appeal, where a decision was expected that afternoon. Trial is set for 13 January 2020.
