Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Can Be Called in Fraud Trial, Judge Rules
· World · The Independent, Telegraph India
A judge has ruled that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor can be called to give evidence in a High Court trial in London involving fraud allegations against Turkish businessman Selman Turk. Turk is being sued by Nebahat Isbilen, who alleges he misled her over a £750,000 payment made to Andrew in 2019, which was later repaid. Mr Turk denies dishonesty and sought permission to call Andrew as a witness. Mr Justice Adam Johnson agreed, stating that fairness requires Mr Turk to present his case using relevant evidence, though a witness summons will likely be needed to compel Andrew's testimony.
Why it matters
This ruling means Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor may be compelled to testify in a high-profile fraud trial, potentially impacting his public image and the legal proceedings.
