Crucial witnesses refuse to aid Anglo probe

MORE than 10 individuals are still refusing to co-operate fully with the long-running investigation into the collapse of Anglo Irish Bank.

Director of Corporate Enforcement Paul Appleby revealed that the number of people classified as “reluctant witnesses” in the case were in double figures, although he declined to be more specific about the exact number.

It is understood the majority of individuals who have withheld co-operation from the inquiry relate to former Anglo staff who are based both in and outside Ireland.
