It turns out that Al-Reyaysa is also being sued by London's Ritz Casino having given them bad cheques worth £2.25million
For the Claremont Club and The Ritz in London's Berkeley Square to accept two cheques for a combined value of almost £7million, Ahmed al-Reyaysa must have had a fair credit rating.
Yesterday, the Claremont went to the High Court to try to get its cash.
Assured by the National Bank of Abu Dhabi that the his cheque would be honoured, the Claremont did not report Al-Reyaysa to Gamblers Anonymous or have a quiet word with him but cashed his cheque for £2.7million.
The casinos want their money. And rightly so. A promise is a promise.
