Is there still Rule of Law in Gibraltar?                          Is there corruption in the local police?

             Are employees' Human Rights protected?                          Is there a mafia in Gibraltar?

                        How corrupt are the Courts in Gibraltar?                                        Is Entain a bad employer?

225. The same day 20th April 2018 HR proposed a meeting with Roni Maman, whom I had met once already during the calibration excercise. I remembered him as a no-nonsense type of guy who I thought could be exactly the kind of person needed to sort out the mess in the Dutch/Flemish team. He was also the company's vice-president, what I found to be some overkill but I thought that at least something was being done after ten months of doing nothing. Maybe the days of waiting till the problem would go away, had come to an end. HR invited me to attend a meeting with Roni Maman on 24th April 2018. I accepted the invitation.

226. Again on the same day 20th April 2018 Danielle Wood requested in an email that I should refrain from using work email or Skype to contact any of my colleagues. I found that a very weird request as I actually had not been in touch with any of my colleagues. I actively made an effort to omit any contact with colleagues as I did not want to discuss my mental health issues with them, I was in fact ashamed of my present state. Another reason why I avoided to meet colleagues in any way, was that it would remind me of all the bullying and that was exactly what I tried to avoid. I did not need a reminder of the bad state of affairs at work to make me relive the horrors I had already gone through. I even went out of my way to go to Morrisons at times when the chance to meet or bump into colleagues was most minimal. As the GVC/bwin offices at Europort were very close to Morrisons, many colleagues used breaks to buy snacks, lunch, etc. in the supermarket. When I occasionally bumped into colleagues in the street by coincidence I avoided eye contact and changed direction so as not to have to have to talk to them. This had actually complicated my private life and although I was not at work the effects of the bullying were continuing and negatively influencing my personal life every day. I found Danielle Wood's email alarming and intimidating. I suspected that it could mean that they were planning to sack me.

227. The email from Danielle Wood:
