Two directors of company remove references to such authorisation on LinkedIn accounts

Jehovah’s Witnesses HQ in New York

Two directors of an Ireland-based asset management firm controlled by the Jehovah’s Witnesses religious group have removed references on their ­LinkedIn accounts saying it is authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland.

Their removal of the references was effected this week after the Irish Independent put questions to the Central Bank about the status of the firm, Mina Asset Management. It is understood that the firm provides services solely to the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
