He faces trial in November following a worldwide investigation by Britain’s tax office into his finances. Prosecutors allege he failed to declare a trust in Singapore with a bank account containing around $650 million when he was asked about any trusts abroad that he was involved in.

Instead, we’ve seen nothing but dither and delay and attempts to blame others for what happened,” said Michiel van Hulten, from the anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International.The scandal came to light on Dec. 9 after police launched more than 20 raids, mostly in Belgium but also in Italy.
