Polly Peck Tycoon Asil Nadir claimed he fled Britain because he had been left 'a broken man with no hope of a fair trial' after police launched an investigation into allegations he had bribed a judge. The revelation came to light as he took the stand for the first time in his long-running theft trial in which he is accused of plundering £150 million from his company.
