London - Two men have been found guilty of money-laundering charges following a 2.3 million pound ($3.7 million) fraud against the Olympic Delivery Authority, the body responsible for developing infrastructure for the 2012 games. An Indian-origin suspect was cleared in the case.
Ayodele Odukoya, 42, and Abayomi Olowo, 48, were found guilty of money-laundering offences by a jury following a seven-week trial at the Southwark Crown Court in London, the Independent reported.
Six other people - Shamsidden Owo, 75, Shakeela Ayub, 28, Nadeem Khan, 38, Mbinty Kargbo, 26, Sanjeev Kumar, 30, and Sakiru Adewale, 58 - were cleared of money-laundering charges.
The group were accused of laundering the cash after fraudsters tricked the Olympic Delivery Authority out of 2.3 million pounds.
