La Stampa owner describes receiver who took control of his Dublin business as 'a thug'

Former La Stampa restaurant owner, Louis Murray, told the High Court he had "never been confronted by such a thug" as the receiver who took control of his Dawson Street, Dublin, business.

He was giving evidence in his action against AIB and a receiver it appointed over his properties, including a hotel and a bar, when he and his company BalieboroSpringwater (in receivership) failed to meet an immediate repayment demand for a €19.8m debt.
