Trois maisons appartenant à Mukhtar Ablyazov, dont un manoir de 20 millions de livres sterling sur l’avenue Bishops et un appartement de 1 million de livres sterling à St John’s Wood, seront vendues pour récupérer une partie des 3 milliards de livres sterling que M. Ablyazov aurait empochés frauduleusement en tant qu’ancien président de BTA Bank.
Un juge de la Haute Cour a maintenant donné aux séquestres KPMG le feu vert pour vendre les propriétés d’Ablyazov sur The Bishops Avenue et St John’s Wood, ainsi qu’un domaine de 100 acres à Windsor, connu sous le nom d’Oaklands Park, d’une valeur supplémentaire de 20 millions de livres sterling.
An apartment belonging to Ablyazov in Palgrave Gardens, a gated development near Lord’s Cricket Ground, in St John’s Wood – offering a communal swimming pool, gym and porter service – is also on the market.
So too is Oaklands Park, the Windsor estate with eight houses, an arboretum, tennis courts, lakes, woodlands and a helipad.
The homes have been put up for sale in the wake of High Court judge Mr Justice Teare convicting Ablyazov of contempt in February last year for failing to appear at a Royal Courts of Justice hearing.
He was sentenced to 22 months’ imprisonment in his absence, at which point it was noted that he had gone into hiding and not even his solicitors knew where he was.
Pavel Prosyankin, the Kazakh bank’s managing director who is overseeing the process of seizing Ablyazov’s assets, said: “This order is another important step forward in the bank’s effort to recover the billions of dollars in assets which Mr Ablyazov misappropriated while chairman.
