Brian Glendinning, a construction engineer, from Fife, has been locked up for two months in a Baghdad jail
A Scottish man who has been locked up in an Iraq jail for two months over unpaid debts is waiting on Qatar bank confirming they have agreed to drop their case against him before he can be released.
Detained in Dubai, who have campaigned for the father's release, say they have "persuaded" Qatar National Bank to withdraw the police case after a third party donor discharged the liability. Founder, Radha Stirling, an Interpol and extradition crisis consultant, said: "The bank assured us they would delete the Interpol Red Notice and instruct the Qatari authorities to withdraw the extradition request.
“The bank no longer wants Brian in a Qatari jail. They have their money. They’ve successfully misused Interpol as their own personal debt collectors and now all that’s needed is a note to Iraq confirming the same. Brian's brother John said: "We are hoping the end is near but we are well aware this could go on for weeks, months or years. We know there are other people in this situation who have been jailed for over a year and we are beyond worried.
After his arrest, John says the family found out a warrant was issued for Brian's arrest in 2017 over the unpaid debt - but he claims Brian was never made aware of it.
