3 men defraud Natwest by selling off a partly/fully owned company for less than market worth. They then sell it on for full market value.
result: Natwest 3 make lots of money, defraud Natwest.
Where does Enron fit into this at all, it seems like a UK crime committed against a UK institution by a UK criminal?

Thats about it, you can see why we're getting slightly angsty over the whole matter, the US really is just throwing weight around. They are being charged in relation to the enron collapse, not exactly sure why, since no charges have been brought over here.
Its just another thing in a long line of stupidy vomited by this government. Never heard of mark rich until i just gave him a google, so can't really comment.
