Red Cross officials in Greece found guilty of corruption
A court in Greece has sentenced the head of the country's Red Cross to four years in jail and a further 23 members of the organisation to three-year suspended terms for corruption. Court officials say Andreas Martinis was found guilty of embezzling more than $13 million. The Red Cross director has been released pending an appeal. Greek authorities instigated proceedings against the Red Cross managers in December after a five-year investigation.
