A British engineer is facing two years’ jail in Qatar for missing loan payments to a local bank, his family say.
The father-of-three moved home to Kincardine, Fife, to recuperate, and later secured a job at a BP oil refinery in Iraq which was due to start in September. Brian’s brother John, 39, said: ‘When my dad called and told me the news I broke down, he’s my big brother and my best friend so I was absolutely terrified.Brian’s family are worried sick that he will be extradited to Qatar and jailed ‘It’s just awful, everyday you wake up thinking this can’t be real but it is.’
‘They wait for a customer to be arrested and hope the parents will dispose of assets and pay the debt themselves.‘The bank usually asks for substantially more than what was owed, knowing parents will pay anything to keep their children out of jail.
