Disgraced solicitor Lynn to face fraud charges

Fugitive ex-solicitor Michael Lynn has been warned he cannot hide behind legal extradition loopholes and will be brought back from Brazil to face €80m property investment fraud charges.

Justice Minister Alan Shatter confirmed that the disgraced Irishman, who was struck off the solicitors register in 2008, could be brought back to Ireland over the coming weeks after top-level Government discussions.

Mr Lynn, aged 43, from Co Mayo, was arrested on Thursday night in Pernambuco, north-east Brazil.
