Summary

The jury in the conspiracy‑to‑defraud trial of former Irish Life and Permanent CEO Denis Casey, aged 56, will resume deliberations tomorrow morning after 53 hours of discussion. Casey and three other former banking executives had pleaded not guilty to a €7.2 billion scheme intended to mislead investors, depositors and lenders about Anglo Irish Bank's true health in 2008. The trial, the longest criminal case in the State's history, reached day 87 when Judge Martin Nolan told the jury to return in the morning. Earlier, the jury had convicted Anglo's former head of capital markets John Bowe (52) and finance director Willie McAteer (65) of conspiring to mislead the public about the bank's balance sheet, and had found Peter Fitzpatrick (63) not guilty after 47 hours of deliberation.
