Qatari royal facing UK arrest after failing to turn up to court over $6bn debt

A member of the Qatari royal family is facing arrest and imprisonment in the UK after he failed to turn up to court over a $6 billion debt. Sheikh Fahad Ahmed Bin Mohammed Al-Thani is accused of owing the vast sum over the collapse of a deal to build luxury resorts in Libya and Europe. Delta Capital Partners, the firm backing the asset recovery efforts, have circulated a photo of al-Thani to ensure he is 'arrested as quickly as possible', with Delta CEO Christopher DeLise noting that all this could have been avoided if al-Thani “did the right thing and cooperated with the court.”
