His relationship with Qataris who are worth $172bn is at heart of rows
Billionaire businessman Paddy McKillen is involved in a dispute that is head-spinning in its complexity
Because of the words Paddy McKillen Sr is said to have used in a confrontation with Anna Cohen-Bacri at his apartment in Paris last year – “idiot”, “f**k you, bailiff” – the reason she was there in the first place has been somewhat overlooked.
Cohen-Bacri was appointed by Quintet Bank, which is owned by a member of the Al Thani family that rules Qatar. The Luxembourg-based private wealth manager alleges that McKillen has failed to keep up with his mortgage payments.
