 A senior British banker who was questioned by U.S. authorities in connection with the Enron scandal has been found dead, British media reported Wednesday. | Humm, that makes at least two dead bodies linked to Eron |
The Metropolitan Police said a man's body was found Tuesday in a park in east London, but declined to identify him. The force said the death was being treated as unexplained, and homicide officers were investigating. | Could be a heart attack, there's a lot of that going around |
The British Broadcasting Corp. and other outlets identified the dead man as a senior banker with the Royal Bank of Scotland who had been questioned by the FBI in the case of three British bankers facing Enron-related fraud charges. The FBI said it would not comment on any aspect of the case. David Bermingham, Gary Mulgrew and Giles Darby, all former bankers with the RBS-owned National Westminster Bank, are due to be extradited Thursday to the United States to face charges of defrauding their ex-employer of $7.3 million. The three men have denied charges that they attempted to sell a part of the U.S.-based energy company Enron Corp. for less than it was worth. |
