From the dust jacket -"The rise and fall of Asil Nadir and Polly Peck is one of the most controversial episodes in UK business history -- and the fascinating tale related by Nadir's beautiful younger sister gives the most intimate account of the saga yet. There are many questions that demand an answer and not, as some might think, by Asil Nadir, but by those in pursuit of him. The 1990 collapse of Polly Peck, super-share of the '80s and once valued at 2 billion pounds, left investors and the City stunned. The firm passed into the hands of administrators. Nadir -- one of the UK's wealthiest men, courted by Tory politicians -- was bankrupted and charged with fraud. But his long-drawn-out prosecution and sensational escape to North Cyprus left a mass of unanswered questions. At the centre of the controversy set out here are the widely discredited Serious Fraud Office and the political Establishment. A government minister resigned, denouncing prosecuting authorities. A High Court judge and top QC were accused of a 'plot' to pervert the course of justice. The Attorney general has to apologise for misleading parliament. This is a compelling story of a family caught up in a devastating avalanche of events, against a backdrop of multi-million-pound business, politics, international diplomacy and turbulent Cyprus. Fine in fine dust jacket. Signedes. Artikel-Nr. C102889
