Jan Bonde Nielsen
Jan Bonde Nielsen is a Danish oil tycoon.
Between 1974 and 1980, Bonde Nielsen was a member of the Executive Board and later President and CEO and Vice Chairman and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Burmeister & Wain. He moved to London in 1981 after filling a bankruptcy.
In 1982, in the so-called "Bonde Nielsen case", Bonde Nielsen, who was then residing in England, was indicted for a fraud in connection with the transfer of shares. In 1986, he was acquitted by the Copenhagen City Court, but the prosecution appealed the case. Due to Bonde Nielsen's absence and, according to English criminal law, he could not be extradited, the Østre Landsret had to postpone the case.
