Drumm gives evidence at bankruptcy trial in Boston

Wednesday 21 May 2014 16.32

Former Anglo Irish Bank chief executive David Drumm has begun giving evidence at his bankruptcy trial in Boston. 

Mr Drumm filed for bankruptcy in the US in 2010, but the court-appointed trustee and the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation are challenging his entitlement to bankruptcy at the hearing.

His lawyers argue that he is entitled to bankruptcy and his debts should be discharged.

However, his claim is being vigorously opposed by the trustee appointed by the court to oversee his financial affairs and by the IBRC, which is owed around €8.5m by the former CEO.

Aside from Mr Drumm, his wife and several of his advisors will be called to give evidence over the course of the trial, which is expected to last five days.

An earlier court ruling means no evidence can be heard in relation to Mr Drumm's conduct as CEO of Anglo Irish Bank.

The arguments will instead centre on his private financial affairs, and a tranche of transactions which occurred between Mr Drumm and his wife from September 2008 onwards.
