A Price to Pay
In 2002, three British businessmen found themselves at the centre of the storm surrounding bankrupt energy giant Enron, when they awoke one morning to see themselves on breakfast news, accused by US prosecutors of defrauding their own bank in London. Under new extradition laws (designed to combat terrorism), the mere allegation of a crime was enough to depart them. The NatWest Three, as they became known, embarked upon a campaign against the new law, supported by a coalition of national newspapers, civil liberties groups, business leaders and politicians. They were ultimately unsuccessful, and were sent to face trial in Texas in July 2006. In this book David Bermingham tells for the first time their full story, including their time in America, with no holds barred.David Bermingham is one of the NatWest Three.

A Price to Pay
In 2002, three British businessmen found themselves at the centre of the storm surrounding bankrupt US energy giant Enron, when they awoke one morning to see themselves on the breakfast news, accused by US prosecutors of defrauding their own bank in London. Under new extradition laws designed to combat terrorism the US government needed merely to allege a crime had happened to deport the three from the UK. The 'NatWest Three', as they quickly became known, embarked upon a campaign against the new law. They were supported by a coalition of national newspapers, civil liberties groups, business leaders and politicians, but were ultimately unsuccessful and were sent to face trial in Texas in July 2006. In this book, David Bermingham tells for the first time the full story of the NatWest Three, including their time in America, with no holds barred.
The US-UK extradition treaty
US-UK extradition Treaty : Twentieth report of session 2010-12, Vol. 1: Report, together with formal minutes, oral and written Evidence
A Price to Pay
In 2002, three English bankers became involved in the Enron fall-out when they heard on television that the US government would seek their extradition under laws designed for terrorists. The US government only needed to identify them but not provide evidence of the crime committed. In a very public battle supported by The Times, Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail - with incidental support from Tony Blair, then Prime Minister - they fought their extradition. They lost in 2006 and were put on trial in a court in Texas for actions that are legal in the UK. In this book David Bermingham tells for the first time since their release in August 2010 the full story from the summons in 2002 to his return to Britain.
Deport, Deprive, Extradite
When Minh Pham was extradited from Britain to the US to face terrorism related charges, his appeal against the deprivation of his British citizenship was still pending. Soon after he arrived his appeal was lost and he was effectively made stateless. Pham's story is one of the many in Deport, Deprive, Extradite, illustrating the perpetual enhancement of state power and its capabilities to expel. In looking at these stories of Muslim men accused of terrorism-related offences, Nisha Kapoor exposes how these racialised subjects are dehumanized, made non-human, both in terms of how they are represented and via the disciplinary techniques used to expel them. She explores how the establishment of these non-humans enables the expansion of inhumanity more broadly, targeting Muslims, people of colour, immigrants and refugees. In asking what such cases illuminate and legitimate about precariousness and dispossession, she offers a radical analysis of the contemporary security state.
The human rights implications of UK extradition policy
The Joint Committee on Human Rights concludes that the current statutory framework does not provide effective protection for human rights. The rights most often relevant to extradition are: prohibition of torture; fair trial; liberty and security; private and family life; and prohibition of discrimination. The Committee calls on the Government to spell out detailed safeguards in the statutory framework. Parliament should be asked to commence the "most appropriate forum" safeguard in the Police and Criminal Justice Act 2006 and that a requirement for the requesting country to show a prima facie case or similarly robust evidential threshold should be introduced in extradition cases. The most a...
Rogue Traders (HC)
Ever since the earliest days of commerce, business people have organized themselves into partnerships. They formed groups with a common interest and worked together as a single unit, assuming both the risks and rewards of the business. It was a natural way of achieving a common goal. If the business succeeded, all of the partners made money. If it flourished, the partners even sometimes became rich. However, success wasn’t assured and if the business failed, they all suffered together. In addition to a multitude of other industries, this was the model that dominated how Wall Street firms operated up until the 1980’s. Beginning in the 1980’s, it was not uncommon to find that a freshl...
