David Drumm will return to Ireland to face criminal charges after abandoning his fight against extradition from the United States.
The former Anglo Irish Bank told a Boston court that he wished to waive the right to challenge an extradition request from the Irish Government in relation to the collapse of the bank in 2008.
The 48-year-old has been incarcerated since he was arrested at his home in Wellesley, Massachusetts last October and appeared before Judge Donald Cabell in prison attire and handcuffed.
Judge Cabell confirmed that his extradition would be signed off within the next 24 hours, although it will be some weeks before Drumm appears on Irish soil, according to RTÉ.
