Anglo trial: No verdict yet as jury completes first full day of deliberations

The jury in a fraud trial of three Anglo Irish Bank directors over a multimillion loans-for-shares scheme have not reached a verdict after their first full day of deliberations.

Sean FitzPatrick (aged 65) from Greystones, Co Wicklow; Pat Whelan (aged 51) of Malahide, Co Dublin, and William McAteer (aged 63) of Rathgar, Dublin, all pleaded not guilty to providing unlawful financial assistance to a hand-picked group of clients in July 2008 to buy shares.
