Nobu Su, the former billionaire shipowner jailed in London over a long-running dispute about money owed in failed freight futures deals, told Lloyd’s List he has filed for personal insolvency and wants to leave the UK.

Three months after his early release from HM Prison Pentonville, where he was serving a 21-month civil sentence related to contempt of court, Mr Su explained he was still determined to reveal the truth in order to clear his name in an exclusive interview with Lloyd’s List.

In the interview, recorded in London on July 29 for the Lloyd’s List podcast, the Taiwanese shipowner told of his time at Pentonville and how the experience changed his life.
