Belfry: Ordinary people, extraordinary loss – Part 1
What do you do when an investment opportunity proves too good to be true? Fight back. Part one of Belfry tells the story of how AIB Bank sold a series of highly leveraged UK property funds, known as the Belfry funds, to thousands of their customers between 2001 and 2006. It follows the experiences of those investors who lost their pensions and life savings, and charts the years-long legal battle they waged to hold AIB to account.
