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.
He claimed he had no idea why he was being taken away by the authorities, reports Edinburgh Live. The 43-year-old was told it was due to an Interpol Red Notice from Qatar and a small amount of debt could result in his international arrest and an extradition trial.
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.
