Three former NatWest bankers will soon be flown to the US to face fraud charges arising from the collapse of the energy giant Enron.

Giles Darby, David Bermingham and Gary Mulgrew - all expected to attend a bail hearing on Friday - deny wrongdoing.

They have now been handed over to US marshals at Gatwick Airport. Their plane is due to leave for Houston, Texas, between 0930 BST and 1000 BST.The move sparked a political row in the UK over US powers to extradite.

Opposition parties and human rights groups claim the treaty under which the so-called NatWest three are being sent to the US is one-sided as the Americans are yet to ratify it.

"A body found in east London parkland has been identified as banker Neil Coulbeck, sources have told the BBC.
The banker worked for the Royal Bank of Scotland, and had been questioned by the FBI about the Enron fraud case.

Police were keeping an open mind about whether the death was linked to the Enron investigation, which involved RBS subsidiary NatWest."

4. NatWest Three on their extradition journey

Just found this a few minutes ago

The three former NatWest bankers accused of a £11 million fraud are on their extradition flight to the United States.

David Bermingham, Gary Mulgrew and Giles Darby - the so-called NatWest Three - arrived separately at Croydon police station, south London, at around 6am en-route to Gatwick Airport. They are now on a Continental Airlines flight to Texas.

Amid chaotic scenes outside the station before their journey to Gatwick, the men declared: "We've been screwed over."

David Bermingham spoke for all three in an embittered last speech on the steps of the police station, saying: "It is a very sad day for British people. We have been let down by our Government and it is time to get them out. This is a tragic day for us and our families. It has been very hard for us."
