Greece bankers guilty over Athens arson deaths
Three bank officials in Greece have been given jail sentences of up to 10 years for failing to protect the lives of staff during a fatal arson attack by anti-austerity protesters in May 2010.
Three Marfin Bank staff members died in the attack on a central Athens branch, including a pregnant woman.
No-one has yet been convicted of causing the fire.
The Marfin branch had refused to allow staff to leave early, unlike other banks in the area.
