Quinn accused of ‘bankruptcy tourism’ for filing in North

THE former Anglo Irish Bank, which is seeking to recover billions from businessman Sean Quinn, has accused him of “bankruptcy tourism” for opting to turn to the courts in the North.

Mr Quinn voluntarily filed for bankruptcy in Belfast last month, claiming his business was based in Co Fermanagh.

His multibillion-euro empire collapsed over the last two years on the back of massive stock market gambles on Anglo’s share price.
