flag Belfast businessman Frank Cushnahan, 84, denies fraud charges over undisclosed 2013 talks with U.S. firm Pimco during Ireland’s Nama sale.

flag Frank Cushnahan, 84, a Belfast businessman, faces fraud charges for allegedly failing to disclose meetings with U.S. firm Pimco during 2013 negotiations over Ireland’s Nama loan portfolio sale to Cerberus. flag He denies the charge, with his defense arguing no financial gain occurred, no legal duty to report the contacts existed, and the prosecution’s case lacks credible evidence. flag His barrister called the case “utterly hopeless,” citing Cushnahan’s long public service and lack of misconduct allegations from multiple witnesses. flag The trial continues at Belfast Crown Court with closing arguments underway.
