Wed 12 Dec 2001Man says he may challenge freeze on €300,000
Bank of Ireland has frozen the Spanish bank account of a Dublin man who was credited with almost £250,000 by mistake during a foreign exchange transaction. The bank says it will now take further legal action to recover the full amount transferred in error to the account of Mr David Hickey last month.
Mr Hickey, a father of three grown children who emigrated with his wife to begin a new life on a Spanish olive farm, said last night he knew nothing about the freezing order and, if it existed, he would fight it in court.
