Polly Peck tycoon Asil Nadir was a "broken man" who had no hope of a fair trial when he left the UK in 1993, he has told the Old Bailey.

Mr Nadir, 71, is accused of stealing nearly £150m from his Polly Peck empire but denies all charges.

He denied he fled to northern Cyprus because he was guilty of fraud which he was being prosecuted for. He returned in August 2010 to face the charges.
