A Switzerland-based venture capitalist faces a U.K. arrest warrant in a case over unpaid legal fees, where a judge labeled her “selfish and untrustworthy.”

The arrest warrant comes after Julie Meyer, chief executive officer of VIVA Investment Partners AG, failed to attend a hearing last week and disclose documents requested by a London judge, who previously handed her a suspended six month jail term in her absence for contempt of court.
