British national of Somali origin is accused of running a piracy ring off Somali waters
A UN document has linked British citizens with the Somali piracy. That’s according to a report published by The Times of London.
The newspaper identifies a British businessman of Somali origin as one of the key organizers of a pirate-related kidnapping in 2009. The British media report however didn’t mention the name of this British citizen.
The British-Somali man referred to in the report is believed to have been directly involved in the kidnapping of Paul and Rachel chandler, a British couple held captive for more than a year by armed Somali pirates. The couple was finally released after a hefty ransom of 600-thousand pound.
