Brazil to return Lynn over €80m allegations

Fugitive former-solicitor Michael Lynn will return to Ireland to face allegations of mortgage fraud after a Brazilian judge ruled he can be extradited.

The 44-year-old was arrested in Brazil in August 2013 and has been battling attempts to have him returned to Ireland since.

He was struck off in 2008 and fined €2m over allegations he owed €80m to at least 10 financial institutions, linked to numerous mortgages on as many as 148 properties.
