A solicitor who worked for Michael Lynn & Co Solicitors has told his multi-million-euro theft trial that she was unaware of the details of his borrowings.

Mr Lynn (53) is on trial accused of the theft of around €27 million from seven financial institutions. Mr Lynn, of Millbrook Court, Red Cross, Co Wicklow, has pleaded not guilty to 21 counts of theft in Dublin between October 23, 2006, and April 20, 2007.
