His Name is Bond. Derek Bond.
The US says, woops, we made a mistake but no compensation for you. Too bad about getting messed up in that South African prison.BBC NEWS | England | Bristol | US refuses arrest blunder damages: "A Bristol pensioner who was arrested at gunpoint after the FBI put him on their 'most-wanted' list has been told he will not receive any compensation.
Derek Bond, 74, says the FBI admitted its mistake but will now only pay for his legal expenses.
He was held at Durban police station in South Africa for nearly three weeks after being arrested at gunpoint while on holiday in February 2003.
FBI agents had detained Mr Bond believing him to be someone else.
Mr Bond's solicitor, Andrew Gregg, said Mr Bond had been treated absolutely appallingly."
