US EditionJamie Bryson, Two Others Cleared in NAMA Misconduct Trial
- Jamie Bryson, Thomas O'Hara, and Daithí McKay were cleared of misconduct in public office charges by Judge Gordon Kerr KC at Belfast Crown Court on 3 July 2025.
- The charges stemmed from a 2015 Stormont Finance Committee inquiry chaired by McKay that investigated the sale of NAMA's Northern Ireland assets to Cerberus for £1.2 billion.
- The prosecution alleged secret messaging between the defendants subverted committee procedures, and there were claims McKay coached Bryson before Bryson's 2015 testimony.
- Bryson called the prosecution "outrageous" and a "stressful and horrible experience," while McKay said he was "absolutely delighted but not surprised" by the clearing of charges.
- The ruling ended a decade-long legal process that raised questions about prosecuting those exposing political issues and highlighted concerns about effects on witnesses and whistleblowers.
