Anglo trial hears of computer programme created to remove account records

Summary

During a Dublin Circuit Criminal Court hearing, Patrick Peake, a former fraud officer, testified that an Anglo Irish Bank employee had created a computer programme to delete records of Susie Ltd from the bank's Dublin Investment System. Peake described an email sent to consultant Shane Crowley about a programme intended to remove the company's records. Susie Ltd, sharing an address with Anglo's Isle of Man branch, had directors and staff linked to that operation. Peake also revealed 275 cash withdrawals totalling €173,800 from John Peter O'Toole's account, with only four transactions supported by documentation. He presented evidence of monthly €410 payments from an account in the name of Sean and Triona Fitzpatrick, signed by "Mary O'Toole," and transfers of IRL£71,000 and US$22,460 to Susie Ltd. The case involves former officials Bernard Daly, Tiarnan O'Mahoney, and Aoife Maguire, who plead not guilty to seven alleged offences related to account deletions and omissions.
