A mammoth process has ended: On Thursday, the District Court Hamburg convicted the Osmani-brothers to a heavy jail-sentence. The court found the accused guilty of having fraudulently obtained bank credits of several million Euro. Burim Osmani was sentenced to five years and eleven months in jail, his brother Bashkim to three years and nine months. A third accused, who had been a business partner of the Osmani`s, has to go to jail for three years and six months. However, the court also decided that for now, the Osmani Brothers will not be jailed.  Burim Osmani had been in detention for thirty months awaiting trial, his brother Bashkim had only attended the trial on condition of free passage. In exchange, they had to deposit almost two million Euro as a security. They also have to report to a parole officer twice a week. Their lawyers said they will lodge an appeal against the judgment.
