Two of the Brits who organised the photo shoot were found guilty of degrading the cultural landscape of Corfu. They were handed a six-month suspended prison sentence. But the court came to the conclusion that the five Brit women were innocent of the offence of violating Archaeological Law, therefore acquitting three of them. This is because there was no evidence that material damage was caused to the monument. Three of the Brits were captured walking out of the court with solemn looks on their faces before being asked by a reporter how they felt. One Brit - who looked to have been crying - said they are "sorry to everyone we offended and let down" both "in Greece and back home". She added, before issuing a thanks to the Judge: "We deeply regret what we [did]." The second Brit took a large gulp before issuing her own apology "for causing any offence," stating that the women "understand how important" the monuments are to Greek people - but "didn't realise". She concluded: "We could not be any more sorry and we're just glad that justice has been served today."

The third woman also said sorry "to have caused such an offence and to have caused such trouble" and that they're happy that the judge "gave us justice today". Shocking footage shared by Greek media showed two women in raunchy red lingerie posing on a pole in front of fellow dancers. Another clip captures a Brit in a black thong leotard being cheered on by a woman shouting: 'Yes Shelly, nice!' The women have reportedly visited Corfu multiple times to take part in dance events. Dozens of furious residents slammed the shoot after it went viral online, branding it 'disgraceful'. One person fumed: 'The Corfu Palaces: they once hosted royals. Now, pole dancing. 'If Lord Byron saw pole dancing at the Palaces, he would have returned to England without a second thought.' Another commenter raged: 'Would they do the same at Buckingham [Palace]? Of course, here we have been the inferior in Europe for years on vacation and binge. [sic]' According to local media, a pole dancing school in the UK was behind the ordeal. The school organises a vacation with intensive pole dancing seminars in Corfu every year in the last two weeks of May, ANT1 reported. The Palace and site of the risky photoshoot was commissioned by British Lord High Commissioner Sir Thomas Maitland in the early 19th century. It is one of the best-preserved examples of Regency architecture outside the UK and now houses the Museum of Asian Art. The Directorate of the Museum reportedly had no idea the shoot was happening, according to Protothema. 5 The women have reportedly visited Corfu multiple times to take part in dance events Credit: Facebook/@kerkyrasimera
