Byr Savings Bank former Chairman Jon Thorsteinn Jonsson and the lender's ex-Chief Executive Officer Ragnar Zophonias Gudjonsson were today found guilty of fraud and sentenced to four and half years in prison by Iceland's Supreme Court.

The court found that the two former executives had used their positions at Byr to grant an 800-million kronur ($6.2 million) loan to Exeter Holdings ehf in 2008 as Iceland's financial system was on the brink of collapse.
