William McAteer’s case was adjourned at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 24 November 2014 over charges of conspiring to mislead investors.

The prosecution said the State required an enlarged jury panel for the trial involving McAteer and three other former Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Life and Permanent officials.

The accused men face allegations that €7.2 billion was transferred between March and September 2008 to make the bank appear more valuable. McAteer also faces an additional charge of falsifying accounts under Section 10 of the Theft and Fraud Act.

Judge Mary Ellen Ring adjourned the case for mention on 1 July, while the accused men’s attendance remained excused.
