In 2012, Jonathan Taylor blew the whistle on the standard practice of bribing locals to get good deals by the Dutch multinational SBM Offshore.
As a result SBM Offshore was offered a sweetheart settlement by the Dutch prosecution office (OM) of 240 million euros and SBM sued Taylor in Monaco and the Netherlands for defamation.
From Monaco an extradition request was issued, leading to his arrest on 30 July 2020 and release on bail in Croatia (where he has remained since).
Jonathan Taylor foolishly hoped that the British Government would help a good Englishman like him (they really don't like people exposing corruption in the British isles), Taylor reacted naively, "I have been abandoned by my own government".
At the request of the British Ambassador in Croatia, Jonathan Taylor foolishly issued a written statement that he suffers from depression and suicidal tendencies. So then the Croatian cops came to "help" him, arresting him and forcibly injecting him with sedatives.
Taylor was released but is disappointed in the British Embassy, "Instead of helping me, they turn me over to the Croatian police and give me the worst 24 hours of my life".
How this Taylor fellow has ever earned a law degree is beyond my comprehension (in Dutch): https://www.nu.nl/economie/6128802/s...nrichting.html
