Sacked bank manager takes action alleging 'malicious conspiracy'
A sacked bank manager has commenced his action against Bank of Ireland for damages claiming he was wrongfully dismissed as a result of a "willful and malicious" conspiracy by senior bank officials.
Father of three adult children John Higgins claims he was defamed by the findings of an internal bank disciplinary inquiry which, he alleges, meant he had engaged in corrupt practices including money-laundering and facilitating tax evasion and was "a rogue and a scoundrel" who believed rules were "for fools".
