The Australian engineer was part of a contract to build the bank's new headquarters in the country's capital city.

The wife of an Elphin resident who is in a prison in Iraq says she is considering chaining herself to public buildings to highlight his case.

Robert Pether who is originally from Australia is serving a 5 year jail terms and 12 million dollar fine following a dispute between his employer and the Central Bank of Iraq.

An appeal against the conviction was held behind closed doors without Mr Pether or his solicitors knowledge and the conviction still stands.
