Former Dechert General Counsel Arthur Newbold is the subject of a U.S. subpoena over allegations tied to the torture and hacking claims involving a Jordanian national, Karam Al Sadeq. Al Sadeq has initiated a case in London where he accuses Newbold of having knowledge about Dechert’s alleged role in his detention and mistreatment in the United Arab Emirates.
The ongoing legal pursuits also involve Stokoe Partnership Solicitors who, representing Al Sadeq, have sought legal measures in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania to obtain documents and a deposition from Newbold. For further context and details, access the original report on Law.com.
