Synopsis
Returning to the UK on 1 June 2009 from visiting a client in Paris, Chris Chesney unexpectedly found himself arrested at Gare du Nord under an EAW issued by the Tribunale di Roma, accused of defrauding Telecom Italia and others of €67 million. This book tells of his bizarre experiences over the next nearly 5 months in different, often medieval prisons in France and Italy, where neither he nor his prosecutors seemed to understand exactly what crimes he had allegedly committed, before he finally managed to secure his release in late October 2009.
About the Author
Qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in 1974, Chris Chesney then moved into finance and banking. He mostly worked outside the UK, retiring back there in 2000 aged 57 when, to avoid boredom, he formed his own consultancy company. An Italian client turned out to be an imaginative fraudster, to a degree that Chris only discovered when he was arrested in Paris.
