• European Arrest Warrant: the imprisonment of Mike and Jason in Budapest
• Michael Turner and Jason McGoldrick were extradited to Budapest on 02.11.2009 under the European Arrest Warrant for setting up a business venture in Hungary which eventually failed. They lost their own savings of £100,000 and left further debts of around £18,000. They are now locked in a Budapest prison cell for 23 hours a day with no contact with their families and legal representatives. UKIP MEP Lord Dartmouth has issued a press release (24.11.2009) and staged a protest in front of the Hungarian embassy in London, which ended with a standoff with armed police.
