Iceland's former Prime Minister Geir Haarde has been found not guilty of negligence over the 2008 financial crisis that saw the island's economy go into meltdown.

But Mr Haarde - the first world leader to face criminal prosecution arising from the global turmoil - was found guilty of one of the four charges: not holding cabinet meetings when things turned critical.
