Sigurður Einarsson, the former director of Kaupþing Bank, will not return to Iceland voluntarily for questioning by the Special Prosecutor. He is now part of a rather exclusive club of Icelanders who appear on Interpol's wanted list.
Sigurður said in a phone interview with Fréttablaðið today that he was surprised by these events. He said that it surprised him that people were arrested immediately upon arrival in Iceland, and that these arrests and custody rulings were, to his knowledge, completely unfounded. One wonders if, living in Britain, he has simply failed to get his hands on a copy of Iceland's "Black Report" which details, among other things, exactly what these arrests are based on.
He also told Fréttablaðið that he does not intend to take part in a play that, to him, seems made to mollify the Icelandic nation. He says he is going to rely on the human rights of Britain, where he currently resides.
