Lawyers compare Sean Fitzpatrick to Costa Concordia captain
Lawyers for a former Anglo executive on trial on allegations of defrauding Revenue have today compared Sean Fitzpatrick to the captain of the stricken Costa Concordia ferry.
Aoife Maguire (aged 62) of is one of three people accused of trying to hide accounts connected to Mr FitzPatrick.
Lawyers for the former assistant manager said that former Anglo boss Sean Fitzpatrick was able to remain in the shadows - while she was left facing these allegations.
The court heard that Mr FitzPatrick was like the Costa Concordia captain - making an early dart for the lifeboat.
Ms Maguire - alongside 56-year-old former chief operating officer Tiarnan O”Mahoney and 67-year-old former company secretary Bernard Daly deny all charges of trying to defraud Revenue.
Earlier the court heard from Mr Daly’s lawyer - who said the prosecution had misled the jury and was dancing and pirouetting around the evidence.
The jury will consider its verdict tomorrow.
