Summary
Former solicitor Michael Lynn, aged 50, appeared in Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 5 July 2019 as part of pre‑trial preparations for his January 2020 trial. Lynn faces 21 charges alleging the theft of nearly €30 million from seven financial institutions, including €4.1 million from Irish Nationwide (4 April 2007) and €3.6 million from Ulster Bank (20 October 2006). He was extradited from Brazil in March 2018 after being detained there in August 2013, and was granted bail on a €100,000 surety in June 2019. The prosecution, represented by John Berry BL, informed the court that the Director of Public Prosecutions had completed 56 categories of disclosure requested by the defence. Defence counsel Padraig Dwyer SC noted that additional work was underway "behind the scenes" and requested a one‑hour hearing to address remaining matters. The pre‑trial hearing was scheduled for 28 November 2019.
