McAteer arrested for second time in probe

A FORMER top official with Anglo Irish Bank was in custody last night after his second time being arrested for questioning in relation to a fraud investigation at the disgraced institution.

Willie McAteer was finance director at the bank until he resigned a week before it was taken over by the state at massive cost to the taxpayer to prevent its sudden collapse.

He was arrested at his home in Rathgar, Dublin, at around 8am yesterday.
