Former fraud prevention officer testifies at Anglo trial

The trial of three former Anglo Irish Bank officials has heard they were involved in a task team set up to assist a Revenue review into bogus non-resident accounts.

Retired company secretary Bernard Daly and former chief operations officer Tiarnan O'Mahoney deny withholding information from Revenue of a non-resident account in the name of Sean FitzPatrick's brother-in-law John Peter O'Toole.

The jury is hearing from former Anglo Irish Bank fraud prevention officer Patrick Peake.

In 2010, he carried out an investigation into the handling of an earlier Revenue probe into bogus non-resident accounts.

He said that in 2003 an internal task team was set up at the bank to deal with the Revenue review - and he himself was a member of that team.

Mr Peake said one of the accused, Aoife Maguire, was on the team which had been put together at the request of her co-accused Tiarnan O'Mahony and reported to the then head of compliance Bernard Daly.
