David Drumm: I’ll return to face charges

Former head of Anglo Irish Bank David Drumm has said he will give up his fight against extradition from the US and return to Ireland.

The banker has been in custody in the US since he was arrested at his home in Massachusetts on October 10. Irish officials have asked that he be extradited to face 33 charges related to the collapse of Anglo Irish Bank.

In an interview with the Sunday Business Post, Mr Drumm said he hoped to apply to a Boston court today to allow his return to Ireland.
