The UK Metro reported that the money had been placed in accounts in Jersey held by Doraville Properties Corporation.
The United Kingdom Government has seized £211,000,000, from a Jersey bank account that belonged to the late Nigerian dictator, Sani Abacha, who died in June 1998 after serving as Nigeria’s military head of state for more than five years.
The money is now being held by the British government until its redistribution is agreed to by the Jersey authorities, the US and Nigeria. “It is expected that even more money held by Doraville is likely to be seized and paid into the Civil Asset Recovery Fund in the future,” the report added.
