A former Serious Fraud Office lawyer was unfairly dismissed after he allegedly insulted a US Federal Bureau of Investigations agent in a London pub, a tribunal ruled.

Tom Martin was the SFO’s chief lawyer on its investigation into claims that top executives at Monaco-headquartered Unaoil paid bribes for oil contracts in Iraq.
