Peter Fitzpatrick pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to mislead investors at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, as reported on 17 February 2016. The alleged transactions concerned Anglo Irish Bank and interbank deposits used to make the bank appear €7.2 billion more valuable.

During the trial, former Anglo executive Peter Fitzgerald said he did not recall widespread jubilation after customer deposits increased for the bank’s March 2008 half-year accounts. He described a constant state of crisis, and the trial continued before Judge Martin Nolan and a jury.
