Scotland Yard counter terrorism officers were preparing to interview him after he said he would co-operate and hoped his alleged co-conspirators, including Sir Mark Thatcher, would be punished by the British legal system. Mann, the son of an England cricket captain, was released early by President Teodoro Obiang Nguema, after serving only 15 months of a 34-year jail sentence for conspiring to overthrow him. His premature release may have been a reward for accepting his guilt and testifying that foreign governments and prominent businessmen, including Sir Mark Thatcher, were part of the plot to seize Equatorial Guinea's oil riches.
