An investigation has raised new questions about the 2007 sale of Prince Andrew’s former Berkshire home, Sunninghill Park, which was bought for £15 million by Kazakh businessman Timur Kulibayev, several million pounds above its asking price.
The property, a wedding gift from Queen Elizabeth II to Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, was sold through an offshore structure after remaining on the market for years. According to claims highlighted by BBC Panorama, part of the purchase was funded through Enviro Pacific Investments, a British Virgin Islands-based firm later alleged by Italian prosecutors to have received money linked to bribery in Kazakhstan’s oil sector.
