BBC NEWS | Business | Tyco two guilty of stealing $150m

"Former Tyco chief executive Dennis Kozlowski and finance chief Mark Swartz have been found guilty of stealing over $150m (£82m) from the US manufacturer.

They used the cash to fund opulent lifestyles, splashing out on expensive jewellery, luxury apartments and giant $2m Mediterranean parties.

It was the pair's second trial. The first collapsed after a juror received a threatening phone call and letter.

Kozlowski and Swartz could now face prison sentences of up to 25 years. "
