flag Peter Robinson testified in a Belfast fraud trial over allegations that financier Frank Cushnahan misled authorities about his role in connecting Pimco to a £4 billion Nama loan sale.

flag Former Northern Ireland first minister Peter Robinson testified in a Belfast fraud trial on December 8, 2025, as corporate financier Frank Cushnahan faces charges of failing to disclose his role in connecting Pimco to Northern Ireland’s 2013 Nama loan book sale. flag Robinson, who knew Cushnahan for decades, described a May 2013 meeting at Stormont as a “meet and greet” with Pimco representatives, stating the firm later withdrew due to internal changes. flag He confirmed Cushnahan served on Nama’s non-binding Northern Ireland Advisory Committee from 2010 to 2013 and denied any personal involvement with Pimco post-meeting, saying discussions occurred only at North-South ministerial forums. flag The trial continues, with the case centering on allegations that Cushnahan misled authorities during the sale of a £4 billion loan portfolio, originally bought by Nama for £1.1 billion.
