I didn't choose this specialism. It chose me.

I am a chartered accountant. From 2005–2015 I worked for Deloitte and then Ernst & Young, with a brief time in between at one of the UK's largest insurance companies, Aviva. From 2016–2018, I was the chief financial officer of a reinsurance company. My profession is built on documents, on getting the records exactly right, and on being able to present your work. I mention this not for credentials but because it is a large part of how I survived what followed. When the system came for me, I used my skills to help myself.

At its heart, I believe this was a Red Notice used as a weapon in civil litigation — and here is why. It was published roughly a week before I was due to appear before the Supreme Court of the State of New York, to give evidence in the dispute with my former employer, a multi-billion-dollar company, and to raise what I considered serious irregularities in the proceedings it had set in motion against me in Bermuda. The timing's effect was to prevent my attendance in New York, and with it my ability to defend myself. INTERPOL's own Constitution forbids the organisation from involving itself in disputes of a private character; a dispute between an executive and his former employer is precisely the kind of matter its rules are meant to keep out. The notice should never have existed: tested against INTERPOL's own rules, it was marked by violations that ran from the simple, on its face, to the deep, in what lay behind it.

Nor did the case against me hold together on its own terms. In 2021 Greece's justice ministry agreed with a multitude of issues that existed with the case against me — the extradition request for me was unprecedentedly flawed, to my knowledge, under international law and the laws of Bermuda and the United Kingdom alike. The sworn statements, and alleged evidence (both provided by a civil, not an independent prosecutorial authority), behind the request are now themselves the subject of a criminal perjury charge in Greece. A Red Notice and an extradition case resting on evidence of that kind should not be possible. In my case, at first, they were. Had I been extradited, my voice would have been silenced. I chose to fight back.

What should have been a short investigation by Greece's authorities into the legality of the notice itself ended up taking years. In April 2021 Greece formally refused the request to extradite me. The state was asked to extradite me, examined the case against me, and declined to act on it.

I live in Athens, Greece — openly, freely, and normally. I am not a fugitive from any honest process. As an INTERPOL expert, and through Red Notice Help, I work to help INTERPOL subjects, wherever in the world they may be, to get their lives back. And I continue to pursue, through the courts, and regulators, those who I believe acted wrongly against me.

In 2024 the manager whose sworn evidence underpinned the extradition request was charged in Greece with perjury over that testimony, and the charge was referred to trial. When Reuters reported on the case in March 2026, it recorded that the prosecutor referring the matter to trial had stated that I had not committed fraud. The manager denies the charge. In my view, the foundation of my notice no longer stands where it was placed. Beyond that, the article speaks for itself.

In 2026 I began legal action in London's High Court against the UK Foreign Secretary and the National Crime Agency, over the State machinery that was used against me. The proceedings are live, so I will say no more here than that they exist and that I brought them. When there is something I can report, it will be reported here.

I built it for the person I was in July 2019 — blindsided, and badly advised by almost all who offered help — what they really wanted was money, and only money — and unable to find a single honest account of this process. When I went looking for help then, one well-known practice replied to me with a letter that opened with another man's name, a template carelessly merged. Another quoted a fee that would have bought four houses. I learned the system because I had no other choice. Now I help others by preparing disciplined, evidence-led submissions to the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL's Files — calmly, rigorously, and at a transparent and fair price.

I am a chartered accountant with an acute knowledge of INTERPOL and the CCF — practically and theoretically — and an innate desire to help others like me. I cannot promise you an outcome; no honest person can. What I can promise is that I have stood where you are standing, that I will tell you honestly whether you have real grounds, and that if you do, I will build the strongest file you can put in front of the Commission.
