Anglo jury deliberating for third day

The jury in the fraud trial of three Anglo Irish Bank directors over a multimillion loans-for-shares scheme have begun a third full day of deliberation.

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.
