A London lawyer has been found guilty of conning a Japanese bank where she was a senior manager out of millions of pounds, to help a friend’s ailing airline. Kate Johns, deputy head of Tokyo Mitsubishi’s legal department, persuaded colleagues to ignore rules and approve huge money transfers in 2006 which ended up in the accounts of Indonesian carrier Air Efata. In return the 39-year-old received US$3.4 million in pay-offs.
