Former Anglo Irish Bank CEO David Drumm has arrived back in Dublin this morning to face more than 30 criminal charges.
David Drumm's Aer Lingus flight from Boston landed at 5.14am this morning at Dublin Airport.
He was escorted off the land bridge after leaving the plane and was driven away in a grey coloured car with blacked out windows.
Mr Drumm faces 33 charges in relation to his time as chief executive officer of Anglo Irish Bank.

They relate to the Maple 10 transactions, during which money was lent to individuals to buy shares in the bank.
The charges include offences such as forgery, conspiracy and false accounting.
David Drumm moved to Boston with his wife and two daughters just a few months after he resigned from Anglo at the end of 2008.
Mr Drumm was arrested in the US in October following an extradition request from the Irish Government.
Last month he unexpectedly dropped his challenge to the extradition, and arrived back in Dublin this morning.
Once he’s formally charged, he’ll be brought before Dublin District Court.
He may apply for bail when that happens, and a full hearing will have to take place if there are any Garda objections to it.
