Richest man's brother branded a liar in case that could expose secrets of Brunei royalty

The brother of the Sultan of Brunei, the world's richest man, crossed swords with two former business associates yesterday at the High Court in London. Kathy Marks says that the case, which revolves around disputed property deals, will lift the veil that shrouds the activities of this obsessively secret royal family.

For nearly two decades, Robert and Rafi Manoukian were trusted friends and emissaries of the Brunei royal family, including the Sultan himself and his brother, Prince Jefri of Bolkiah. So close were they that they looked after the prince's son, Prince Hakim, during holidays from his school, Emmanuel College in London.

Yesterday the brothers, wealthy Armenian-born businessmen whose interests include a Jermyn Street boutique, went to the High Court to sue Prince Jefri, 44, for pounds 80m for allegedly failing to honour two London property deals. Prince Jefri, for his part, is counter-suing the Manoukians for more than pounds 100m, claiming that they systematically exploited their friendship with his family and made "unreasonable and concealed" profits out of him.

In a rare move, instead of seeking an out-of-court settlement away from the glare of publicity, the prince - who recently bought Asprey, the Queen's jewellers, for pounds 244m - has decided to submit himself to cross-examination.

The brothers, who once arranged the purchase of everything from golf balls to aircraft for the royal family, claim that he reneged on multi million-pound deals involving the purchase of an office block near the Savoy Hotel and the former Playboy Club in Park Lane, London.

Yesterday their counsel, Christopher Carr QC, made a robust attack on the credibility of the prince, who plays polo with Prince Charles and once flew the Chelsea football team to Brunei to play the national team over there. Mr Carr said that his version of events in the case, which is expected to last for up to six months, was "an utter deception and falsehood."

The court was told that when the Park Lane property came up for sale in 1988, Prince Jefri was interested in buying the upper four floors and "insisted" that the Manoukians should purchase the lower five storeys. The brothers agreed, as they did not wish to jeopardise other deals. In the early 1990s, when the market collapsed, Mr Carr claimed, the prince reneged on a pounds 25m verbal deal to renovate the lower floors of the building, which is now the prince's London home.

Mr Carr said the prince was claiming that he had bought his four storeys on the suggestion of the brothers, and had relied totally on Rafi Manoukian for financial information and guidance. This, he said, was "a complete invention". The prince's assertion that he was not even aware that the brothers were buying the lower floors was "a complete piece of fiction".

He said there was evidence that the Brunei Investment Agency, of which Prince Jefri was chairman, had obtained independent valuations of the property through other surveyors and his claim that he was relying solely on the Manoukians to represent his interests was "a plain attempt to mislead the court".

The investment agency owns hotels around the world, including the Dorchester in London, the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles and the Palace Hotel in New York. The Sultan, who is reputed to be worth about pounds 20bn, is said to have given full backing to his brother in fighting the lawsuit.

While the Sultan is fairly reclusive, Prince Jefri has a playboy reputation. He has four wives and three children. He owns a fleet of 600 cars and a yacht called Tits, complete with two speedboats christened Nipple 1 and Nipple 2. He once hired Rod Stewart to sing at a birthday party for his children.

The case continues today.

Parx owner makes first appearance at gaming board

Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board hearing Monday could help determine the fate of Live! Philadelphia, the casino project that has been stalled for two years by Pennsylvania Supreme Court appeals.

Watche "Bob" Manoukian has owned a casino in Pennsylvania for more than a decade, but Monday marked his first appearance in front of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.

Monday's hearing, ordered by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in a June decision, is supposed to help decide whether Manoukian's "financial interest" in the casino would violate casino ownership restrictions under the state Gaming Act.

The law prevents an individual who owns one casino from owning more than 33.3 percent of another. The same restriction applies to any financial interest in a second casino.

Manoukian, a wealthy businessman based in London and California, defended terms under which he will transfer $34 million to a trust for his three sons that will own a portion of the proposed Live! Philadelphia Casino & Hotel in South Philadelphia. He said he has no financial interest in the trust.

"I have recently signed a binding agreement to fund the trust by outright and irrevocable gifts, and I will do so, I promise," Manoukian told the board.

Manoukian, who has a net worth of $850 million, according to board documents, already owns 85.84 percent of Parx Casino in Bensalem. His company, Greenwood Racing, formed a 50-50 partnership with entities controlled by the Cordish family in Baltimore.

The gaming board picked the joint venture, Stadium Casino L.L.C., to build Philadelphia's second casino in Nov. 2014, but Supreme Court appeals by a losing bidder and by SugarHouse, which wants to block a competitor from coming into the city for as long as possible, have held up the project.

The June Supreme Court decision was the second time the award of the second Philadelphia license to Stadium Casino was sent back to the gaming board for further consideration.

The first time, March 2016, the justice asked the board to consider not just Manoukian's ownership interest, but also his financial interest, as called for in the gaming law. The court was apparently satisfied that Manoukian's ownership did not exceed the limit.

Without holding a hearing, the board decided in June 2016 that Manoukian's financial interest also did not go over the limit.

The Supreme Court, took a broader view of the term financial interest than the board did and ordered it to take another look.

Cyrus Pitre, chief enforcement counsel for the board, peppered Terrence Everett, a Manoukian associate who is president of the entity overseeing the trust for Manoukian's sons, with questions about whether there were any conceivable financial or business relationships between the trust and Manoukian that could lead to a benefit for Manoukian.

"Other than to see happy sons, no," Everett said.

Still, Pitre said he would recommend that investigative staff at the gaming board "be given opportunity and time to review and trace the source of any funds that will be used by Stadium Casino to build the Philadelphia casino project."

Pitre also noted that a violation of the 33.3 percent cap is not disqualifying, that Manoukian would have the opportunity to come into compliance if the proposed ownership structure ultimately does not pass muster.

The various parties now have an opportunity to file briefs. After that, the board will make its decision.

Bob Manoukian's House

• Bob Manoukian's House
• Nearby (14,748)

Mysterious London-based, Armenia-born billionaire Bob Manoukian owns this home. Manoukian keeps a low profile and the source of much of his vast wealth is unknown. He was recently listed as the 128th richest man in the UK. Manoukian was a longtime close business associate of the Sultan of Brunei, until a failed business deal resulted in Manoukian suing the Sultan's brother. A countersuit was filed and the matter was eventually settled out of court. Manoukian has a wide variety of business interests and investments, reportedly all controlled by his Liechtenstein-based holding company. In 1993, Manoukian caused a kerfuffle when he proposed to build a 59,000 sq foot estate on Tower Road in Beverly Hills. His next-door neighbor Jack Lemmon and others were furious and immediate started a petition to stop construction on the estate. The petition amassed over 8,000 signatures from local residents and made front-page news in the LA Times before Manoukian's plans were eventually vetoed by the Beverly Hills City Council. Manoukian also owns the Siran, a Monaco-based 63-meter yacht that has been valued at nearly $100 million. This Trousdale Estates property was originally two separate homes until Manoukian combined them into a single residence within the past few years. The new house measures more than 11,500 sq. feet.
