Enron witness found dead in park

BBC

A body found in north-east London has been identified as a banker who was questioned by the FBI about the Enron fraud case.
Police said they were treating the death of Neil Coulbeck, who worked for the Royal Bank of Scotland until 2004, as "unexplained".

He had reportedly been interviewed by the FBI about RBS subsidiary NatWest.

Three former NatWest workers are being extradited on Thursday to the US to face fraud charges.

The extradition has sparked a political row, with opposition parties and human rights groups claiming the treaty under which they are being sent to the US is one-sided.
