DW Okay, so you said you would like to work better together, what was her response?
BVT She agreed in the meeting and then the next time we worked together it was even worse – I said to Samira that attack for over an hour on my professional character.
DW Was that the time when you wanted to speak to Samira and she wasn’t available, then you went home and following that you were sick?
BVT I came an hour early, I said Samira we need to talk about this, she said not available, then all of a sudden I collapsed and so I went, I couldn’t do it anymore
DW So you’ve not had an opportunity to speak to Samira?

DW Can I just ask one question for clarification, I don’t know the procedure so you have to tell me. Did you follow the procedure or do something outside it?
BVT Procedure is, if basic things need to be done with VIP users we can do, this case was that risk asked me to double check identity with two questions, one being the ID card number, I felt uncomfortable to ask such a high level VIP about personal details and considered that his account manager who has a much more personal contact with the customer might be better placed to ask these questions compared to a standard e-mail that might look like phishing, for a lower level VIP I would have asked that person as per standard operating procedure, I would have followed the procedure to ask him As I saw he
