Probe into Anglo collapse extended

The investigation by the director of corporate enforcement into the 2008 collapse of the former Anglo Irish Bank has been exten-ded for another year by the High Court.

Criminal trials arising from the probe also appear unlikely to open until late this year at the earliest, and may not start until next year.

The director had sought a three-year extension of orders allowing retention of documents seized from the bank for the investigation, which began four years ago.
