Qatar Faces $6 Billion Arbitration Claim Linked To Ruling Family Member

Anglo-Spanish family trust Swifthold Foundation and its backer Delta Capital Partners have initiated a $6 billion international arbitration claim against the Qatari government stemming from a case against a member of the country’s ruling family. To date, the trust has failed to secure compensation through the local courts over a property investment scheme that went sour involving Sheikh Fahd Bin Ahmed Bin Mohammed Al-Thani and his company Fast Trading Group.
