The wife of a Scots man jailed in Iraq over an unpaid £20,000 Qatar bank loan has told how she fears he is unwell after a distressing phone call from his Baghdad prison. Brian Glendinning, from Kincardine, Fife, was due to start work as a construction engineer at BP oil refinery but was instead detained after flying into Basra International Airport on September 4.
The 43-year-old was shocked to discover there had been an Interpol Red Notice issued from Qatar over the unpaid debt, which was taken out in 2016. His family previously told the Daily Record that the dad-of-three had been paying the money back until he was forced to give up his job the following year due to ill health.
Brian’s wife Kimberley said she fears for her husband's welfare amid claims of 'terrible conditions' behind bars. She received a heartbreaking phone call from the detention facility where Brian has been for over a month.
