Supreme Court refuses to hear further appeal by Michael Lynn

The Supreme Court has refused to hear a further appeal by struck-off solicitor Michael Lynn ahead of his trial for alleged theft of almost €30 million.

He left Ireland in 2007 but was extradited from Brazil last year, after spending four and a half years on remand at the Cotel prison, in north western Brazil, as he fought his extradition back to Ireland. The Court of Appeal said there was “no possibility whatsoever” of Mr Lynn, if convicted, being required to spend more than 30 years in prison. It noted he would also have rights of appeal, remission entitlements and that the executive may release a prisoner at any stage.In a recent published determination, three Supreme Court judges said the issues had been adequately addressed in both the High Court and Court of Appeal .

What ever happened here... Has he yet gone to trial? Very disappointing that he's only standing trial because of theft from thd banks who ought to have known better his situation and not the 'investors' who were totally duped
