Anglo Irish Bank’s former CEO David Drumm has been found guilty of taking part in a €7.2B conspiracy to defraud investors and depositors in the now defunct bank.
He was also found guilty of false accounting in December 2008 by furnishing information to the market about the strength of Anglo’s deposits.
The marathon trial heard about multi-million euro circular transactions between Anglo and Irish Life and Permanent.
Judge O’Connor agrees to remand David Drumm on continuing bail. He now has to sign on daily at Balbriggan garda station, rather than three times a week

Mr. Drumm accepted they took place but denied they were fraudulent or dishonest. The jury disagreed and returned with the unanimous guilty verdicts after ten and a half hours of deliberations.
