Stanley George Adams (born c. 1927) is a former pharmaceutical company executive and corporate whistleblower, whose case was a cause célèbre in the 1970s.
[2] He passed on the documents to the competition commission of the European Economic Community, aware that Switzerland, while not part of the EEC, had a free trade agreement with it.
In 1994, Adams was convicted of soliciting Tony Cox, a former member of a secret British Army unit in Northern Ireland, to murder his second wife, so that he could claim £500,000 in life insurance.
Commenting on his actions after being released from prison, Adams expressed regret that his efforts to have his wife killed had ruined his chances of a seat in the House of Lords.
[3] In 1985 Director/Producer John Goldschmidt made the TV-Movie A Song for Europe (also known as A Crime of Honour), which was inspired by Adams' story.
