Preparations for an “almost unprecedented” court case involving fraud charges linked to Northern Ireland’s biggest-ever property deal have been delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, a court has heard.
Two men are facing charges following a long investigation by the National Crime Agency into the £1.2 billion sale of the NI property loanbook held by the Irish Republic’s National Assets Management Agency (Nama).
Prominent Belfast businessman and ex-Nama adviser Frank Cushnahan and solicitor Ian Coulter, a former managing partner in the law firm that worked on the deal, Tughans, are jointly charged with one count of fraud involving a false representation made on or around April 3 2014.
