Anglo Jailings: ‘Team to protect CEO’s interests’

The charges against the three were built around two separate allegations. Firstly, that they omitted the name of Mr FitzPatrick’s brother-in-law, John Peter O’Toole, from a list of non-resident accounts which was to be handed over to Revenue.

Secondly, that they conspired to have Anglo’s IT department delete six other accounts connected to Mr FitzPatrick from the bank’s computer system.

At the sentencing hearing, Detective Sergeant Gerard Doyle from the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation told prosecuting counsel Dominic McGinn SC that in the late 1990s, Revenue was examining every bank in the country for non-resident accounts which may have been liable for DIRT (deposit interest retention tax).
