Ex-Anglo official must wait for bail ruling

An ex-Anglo Irish Bank official jailed for conspiring to conceal bank accounts from the Revenue Commissioners must wait to hear whether he will be admitted to bail pending his appeal in January.

Bernard Daly, aged 67, of Collins Avenue West, Whitehall, Dublin, was found guilty by a jury at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to furnishing false information and conspiring to defraud the Revenue Commissioners as well as conspiring to delete accounts from the bank’s internal system.

He was sentenced to two years in jail by Judge Patrick McCartan on July 31. The bank’s former company secretary had pleaded not guilty.
