Six People Under Criminal Investigation Over Nama Portfolio Deal

Six people are under criminal investigation in relation to Nama's Northern Ireland portfolio deal.

A total of 40 witnesses have been questioned, according to the National Crime Agency (NCA).

Eight properties have also been searched and several court orders have been obtained.

The NCA took over the inquiry from the police last year and is currently working with other enforcement agencies.

Nama sold 800 properties to Cerberus in 2014.
