British bankers trapped in Bahrain for ten months

Three British bankers have been unable to leave Bahrain for ten months after being placed under investigation in relation to the collapse of a Saudi bank.

The three were senior executives at Awal Bank, which collapsed last July. They remain on its payroll at the request of the bank’s administrators.

Alistair MacLeod, Anthony James and Cliff Giddings were forced to surrender their passports on July 30 last year. They remain under criminal investigation by Bahrain’s Public Prosecutor as part of a wider inquiry into the collapse of Awal but have not been charged.
