Drumm to face trials in 2017 and 2018
Summary
David Drumm, aged 49, will face two separate trials in 2017 and 2018 for alleged offences committed while he was CEO of Anglo Irish Bank. He is charged with 33 counts under two bills, including conspiring to defraud depositors and investors by falsely presenting €7.2 billion of deposits as larger than they were in 2008, and an additional charge relating to the EU transparency directive. The first trial is scheduled for 24 April 2017 and is expected to last 12 weeks, though the solicitor warns it could be longer. The second trial, set for 12 January 2018, covers 16 counts of offering unlawful financial assistance to members of businessman Sean Quinn's family and 10 other individuals, plus 14 charges of falsifying documents, and is expected to take about two months. Drumm has not yet entered a plea. His bail conditions were relaxed, allowing him to sign on at a Garda station once per day instead of twice.
