Anglo clerk gets suspended term for €200k fraud

A former Anglo Irish Bank clerk has been given a suspended sentence for defrauding his employer of €200,000 while the bank was being nationalised.

Gordon O’Brien, aged 43, took the money from Anglo’s Limerick branch as the bank was calling in its loan accounts during the Government takeover three years ago.

It was later noticed during an audit by Anglo’s successor, Irish Bank Resolution Corporation.
