I asked: 'Is this transaction legal?' - Developer gives evidence at Anglo trial

A Maple 10 investor has said he was on holiday in France when approached by two Anglo Irish Bank executives trying stop a run on the bank's shares.

Property developer Gerry Maguire is giving evidence at the trial of Pat Whelan, Willie McAteer and Sean FitzPatrick, who deny providing unlawful financial assistance to members of the Quinn family and the Maple 10 to buy shares in the bank in July 2008.
