Michael Lynn (55) was due to face a sentence hearing in Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on Monday.

Former solicitor Michael Lynn has told his multi-million euro theft trial of “off the book” loan arrangements he had with bankers, including former Irish Nationwide boss Michael Fingleton

It is the prosecution’s case that Mr Lynn obtained multiple mortgages on the same properties, in a situation where banks were unaware that other institutions were also providing finance.
