Michael Lynn’s retrial for alleged €27 million theft was set by Dublin Circuit Criminal Court for 16 October 2023, after a jury failed to reach a verdict. Lynn had denied the charges in the four-month trial, which concerned allegations that he stole money from seven financial institutions between 2006 and 2007. The jury was discharged after 12 hours of deliberation. The prosecution sought a retrial, saying it wished to make further enquiries following assertions Lynn made during the trial.
