An Asturian businessman denounces a Saudi sheikh for defrauding him in an urban project and ruining him

The Gijon businessman

still does not understand how they have been able to deceive him like this. Two years ago a Saudi sheikh contacted him,

about his two companies

and

. The idea was to build three sustainable buildings, the first in

with patents on it. To do this, the sheikh would finance the project with 55 million and the Gijon businessman would give him 49% of the shares of his two companies for a symbolic euro. And so they signed it before a notary in

in January 2019. "At that time he had to advance 5% per project, 2.7 million euros, but we have not seen a dollar yet, nor have we heard anything from him. Come on, it is a book scam. He deceived us like fools. I trusted him because he told me that the Saudi prince was behind the project. "

And the problem is not only that that project, which was going to generate

some 30 jobs

in

, was not carried out, but that, since then, Victor's companies have been totally undercapitalized and without work.

"Several foreign investment groups have been interested in our ideas, but as 49% of the shares are held by that individual, we cannot do anything. I have people unemployed."

He calculates that the damage caused so far exceeds three million euros.

They no longer know what to do, so their last step has been to file a lawsuit against Sheikh

in which they also

the crown prince,

to see if it is true that he knew and he was behind that project.

And it is that not only did he take over his company, but when he was in Gijón in 2019 he also left with "patent documentation, plans and even one of our machines," Víctor now laments.

"He told us that he wanted to plated it in gold to give it to the monarch and surely what they did was gut it to see how it was made."

He knows this because in recent days a news item has appeared in the press in which he realizes that

a project is underway

in

to create

, part of a futuristic city-state that is planned to be built and he believes that its technology may be behind.

Victor now regrets his overconfidence with the sheikh.

Now remember when he went through Gijón to sign the contract before a notary.

"We paid him the hotel, we invited him to everything, they even welcomed him at the City Hall. Come on, that was like

."

Then the sheik, recalls the businessman, "already made statements to the media in which he assured that the prince was behind that project, hence our interest in him declaring".
