Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | Enron ex-treasurer jailed: "A former treasurer at Enron yesterday became the first executive to be jailed for his part in the scandal that tilted the energy firm into bankruptcy more than 18 months ago.

Ben Glisan was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to criminal conspiracy. He was taken into custody immediately.

Mr Glisan, 37, had earlier maintained his innocence in the face of charges including money laundering and wire fraud as part of a 109-count indictment against him and his one-time boss, former Enron chief financial officer Andrew Fastow. "
