Six HSBC bank staff have lost their jobs after they filmed a ‘mock execution video’ during a team building day.
The footage- published by The Sun- shows five workers acting out a sickening ‘execution’ video on a colleague.
The staff members (allegedly part of the bank’s legal team) hid their faces with balaclavas as one of them shouted in Arabic.
One of the workers, shockingly, brandished a coat hanger as a ‘knife’.
The sixth staff member is wearing an orange jumpsuit and being held by the scruff go the neck in an disturbing re-enactment of the executions performed by Islamic State.
The bank has called the 8-second footage ‘abhorrent’.
A spokesman said in a statement: “We do not tolerate inappropriate behaviour.
“As soon as The Sun brought this video to our attention we took the decision to sack the individuals involved. This is an abhorrent video and HSBC would like to apologise for any offence caused.”
An insider told the paper: “It's so shocking that they would do this and think it was funny, especially in light of recent events. It's not a joke.”
The footage comes a year after British aid workers Alan Henning and David Haines were brutally murdered by ISIS ‘executioner’ Jihadi John.
The country was left shocked and sickened after footage of their ‘executions’ were uploaded online.
