A German banker who stole money from rich clients to help the poor has been sentenced to two years and 10 months in prison.

The 45-year-old, dubbed by German media as a modern day Robin Hood, diverted €2.1m to clients he felt were needy while holding a senior position at a savings bank in the southern region of Tauberfranken.

'The accused undertook these actions to grant liquidity to clients who, in his view, were short of money and who no longer got loans under the usual money market conditions,' said a statement issued by the court in the southern town of Mosbach.

=========================
I thought all Germans followed the rules obsessively? Shocked
