British Queen Elizabeth’s favourite son Prince Andrew has been named in another international scandal nearly two months after he settled his longtime accuser Virginia Giuffre lawsuit.
The Express UK, quoting the Telegraph, reported that Prince Andrew and his former wife Sarah Ferguson were allegedly given over £1 million as gift from a £40 million international fraud.
They received ‘suspicious’ payments from alleged fraudster Selman Turk, a former Goldman Sachs banker.
Evyap Isbilen, a Turkish millionaires, has claimed she was tricked into giving the royals money ‘by way of payment for assistance’ with her passport to flee her country.
Prince Andrew and Sarah received 750,000 and 250,000 pounds respectively, however, Isbilen told the high court the prince has since repaid the cash after she alleged it was a scam.
The former couple were named as having received the ‘substantial sums’ but there is no suggestion of wrongdoing on their part, the report further claims.
Evyap Isbilen said she had been hoodwinked by the middleman.
