NatWest Three admit fraud
The NatWest Three, who were alleged to have netted themselves �1M each (and two of them considerably more) in fraud deals linked to the Enron collapse in the US will go to prison for 3 years.
They were facing 35 years each, and in a plea bargain, admitted one charge of fraud in exchange for the others to be dropped.

And I'm still unhappy about the way the UK happily allows the USA to extradite people while not insisting on the reverse procedure, so, for example, US soldiers who kill British ones in battle get off scot free. Compared with that situation, the bankers have been hard done by. But by most local standards, yes, they've got off lightly.
Far too light, but better than nothing I suppose.
