'Compelling evidence oligarch's £50m empire built on crime,' High Court ruling finds
There is compelling evidence that a £50million London property empire was bought by an Azeri tycoon with the proceeds of crime, a High Court judge has found.
Mr Justice Poole ruled that there was also “a good arguable case” that millionaire Javanshir Feyziyev was involved in fraud and money laundering to purchase 22 homes in the capital.
They include two properties at Whistler Square in the Chelsea Barracks development in Belgravia, worth £18.4million and £8.1million respectively, and another that cost £4million at Cumberland Terrace overlooking Regent’s Park.
