THE FORMER CHAIRMAN and chief executive of Anglo Irish Bank, Seán FitzPatrick, has appeared in court charged with 12 counts of making false or misleading statements to corporate auditors.
The 64-year-old appeared before Judge Michael Walsh at Dublin District Court earlier today, after being arrested and questioned at Bridewell Garda Station this morning.
FitzPatrick was charged with several counts of failing to disclose the true amount of loans made by the bank to him or to parties connected with him, and for failing to disclose loans between Anglo and Irish Nationwide Building Society, to auditors Ernst & Young.
The offences are alleged to have occurred at various dates, each at the end of November or beginning of December, in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2007.
FitzPatrick was remanded on bail, for the serving of a book of evidence, and will appear again in court on March 1. He was released on his own bond of €1,000.
