Anglo fraud jury considers verdict

The jury in a fraud trial of three Anglo Irish Bank directors over a multimillion loans-for-shares scheme will this morning begin a second full day of deliberations.
Sean FitzPatrick, 65, from Greystones, Co Wicklow; Pat Whelan, 51, of Malahide, Co Dublin; and William McAteer, 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.
