The family of a man facing two years in jail in Qatar if he is extradited over an unpaid debt has called on David Beckham to help free him. Dad-of-three Brian Glendinning, 43, arrived at Basra airport in Iraq on September 12 to start a job at a BP oil refinery.
But he was arrested and detained on an Interpol Red Notice from Qatar over a debt owed to Qatar National Bank. Grandad-of-one Brian, from Kincardine, Fife, is now facing extradition to Qatar as his desperate family scramble to raise £40,000 to bring him home.
He has been in a jail in Baghdad for more than four weeks and his children have now appealed to footy star David Beckham to support their father’s release.
