Former solicitor faces trial in 2020 on multi-million euro theft charges
Former solicitor Michael Lynn who is facing 21 charges relating to the alleged theft of almost €30 million from seven financial institutions will stand trial in January 2020.
In one of the sample charges before the court Mr Lynn (49), with an address in St Alban's Park, Sandymount, Dublin, is accused of stealing €4.1 million from Irish Nationwide on April 4, 2007.
In another sample count, he is charged with stealing €3.6 million from Ulster Bank on October 20, 2006.
Last March Mr Lynn was extradited to Ireland from Brazil, where he has been living for several years.
Karl Monahan BL, defending, told Judge Martin Nolan at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court that his client has been in custody for some time. He said he was seeking the earliest possible trial date.
