Dunnes fail to stop Nama lawyers retaining fraud expert

Lawyers for Sean Dunne and his wife, Gayle Killilea-Dunne, failed in their bid yesterday to prevent Nama’s legal team from adding an expert attorney on fraudulent transfers during a hearing at Stamford Superior Court.

The former ‘Baron of Ballsbridge’ is fighting a case against him and his wife in the courts in Connecticut, where the couple owns two properties.

Nama, which is owed €185m by Mr Dunne, claims he fraudulently transferred a half-share in an apartment in Geneva, Switzerland, to his wife more than three years ago and that she subsequently used his money to develop the properties in Greenwich, Connecticut.
