'Lack of evidence' that FitzPatrick provided unlawful assistance for purchase of Anglo shares

The jury has heard former Anglo Irish Bank chairman Sean FitzPatrick has been acquitted on six charges due to a lack of evidence.

The prosecution is now delivering its closing address in the trial of Mr FitzPatrick and former Anglo executives Willie McAteer and Pat Whelan, who deny providing unlawful financial assistance for the purchase of the bank's shares in July 2008.
