Two senior British judges are set to rule on Tuesday in a long-running case involving three former NatWest bankers who are fighting extradition to the United States over Enron-related fraud charges.

The former bankers -- David Bermingham, Giles Darby and Gary Mulgrew -- are appealing British Home Secretary Charles Clarke's decision to allow their extradition to face trial in the U.S.

They have also challenged the UK Serious Fraud Office's decision not to investigate their case in Britain.

The three, who worked for NatWest Bank, now part of Royal Bank of Scotland, are alleged to have conspired with Enron executives, including former Chief Financial Officer Andrew Fastow, over the sale of a stake in an Enron entity in 2000, which made them $7.3 million.
