Brian Glendinning travelled to the Middle East to work as a construction engineer, before allegedly being cuffed and taken to a holding cell
A Scots dad has allegedly been detained in Iraq over a "small debt" to Qatar National Bank. Fife man Brian Glendinning, travelled to the Middle East to work as a construction engineer, before allegedly being cuffed and taken to a holding cell.
The father-of-three was due to start a new role at the BP oil refinery but has instead found himself forking out expenses for an extradition trial in a foreign country. Brian's brother John says "it makes no sense" about the possibility of being branded "some sort of crime lord" for the sake of a small amount of debt and admits that Brian's family are struggling with the news and just want him home in Scotland.
"The bank usually asks for substantially more than what was owed, knowing parents will pay anything to keep their children out of jail. It works for them but makes a mockery of Interpol and extradition courts." Stirling confirms: “We will make every diplomatic and legal effort to save Brian from extradition. We will further be making extradition treaty reform suggestions. Qatar is making itself a nuisance and costing taxpayers a lot of money. We’ve helped Brits arrested in Spain , Czech, Italy, Denmark, Ukraine and so on.
