An ex-Deutsche Bank managing director was found guilty in the UK's biggest insider trading case

Two men, including a former managing director at Deutsche Bank, were found guilty in the UK's biggest-ever insider trading case.

Martyn Dodgson, the former managing director, and Andrew Hind, an accountant, were convicted by a London jury on Monday after a trial that lasted 12 weeks.

Three other defendants - Grant Harrison, a former managing director at Altium Capital, day trader Benjamin Anderson and former Aria Capital director Iraj Parvizi - were found not guilty.

The convicted men face a maximum of seven years in prison and a sentencing verdict could come as soon as this week.

They were accused of generating more than £7 million in profit, trading on inside information on stocks such as Legal & General, Scottish & Newcastle, and Sky.

The result is a partial success for the Financial Conduct Authority, six years after a series of dawn raids shocked the City of London.

The case - code named Tabernula, which is Latin for "little tavern" - had five defendants accused of conspiring to trade securities with inside information between 2006 and 2010.

The case had a dramatic start. In March 2010, more than 100 police and regulators were deployed across 16 locations to arrest seven people. The raids, co-coordinated by the now-defunct Financial Services Authority, stunned the City, which was used to a regulator with a "light touch."
