Proceedings in the Commercial Court in Public Institution For Social Security v Al Rajaan and others conclude today, after a year-long trial.
Amy Rogers KC appeared for EFG Bank with Camilla Bingham KC and Harry Stratton, instructed by Susanna Charlwood and Matthew Skinner at A&O Shearman.
This substantial fraud claim was one of the Lawyer’s Top 20 cases of 2025. It was brought by the Kuwaiti pension and social security fund against its former Director General, Fahad Al Rajaan, and multiple intermediaries and financial institutions, contending that Al Rajaan procured hundreds of millions of dollars in unauthorised secret commissions. Judgment is awaited.
