Bank official sues over tiger kidnap

In February 2009, Shane Travers, aged 30, was forced to hand over four bags containing the cash from Bank of Ireland, College Green, Dublin, before his then girlfriend, her nephew, and the girlfriend’s mother were released by armed and masked men.
Mr Travers was subsequently arrested and questioned for 48 hours but was never charged and, he says, gardaí do not consider him a suspect.
