 | | Mark Brown, 36, of Notting Hill, west London, accepted playing a role in the protests, which ended in violence causing £2m worth of damage, but denied organising the whole event. |
 | | Mr Brown, who earns an estimated £44,000 a year from a £2.7m trust fund set up from wealth amassed by his grandfather, Dewhurst butcher tycoon Sir Derek Vestey, smiled as the verdict was given by City of London magistrates. |
 | | During the case, Mr Brown was accused of planning the Carnival Against Capitalism protest, which took place on 18 June, 1999, some 18 months in advance. |
