Credit Suisse Group AG has already taken Nigerian oil trader Igho Sanomi’s private jet. Now it’s coming for his London apartments.
The Swiss bank is owed about $3 million by Sanomi, who was a guarantor for a credit facility extended to one of his companies, Credit Suisse’s lawyer Andrew Brown said in written submissions to a London court last week. Three properties owned by Sanomi including apartments in Chelsea, west London, and Belgravia, in the heart of London’s diplomatic quarter, have already been identified as assets that may have to be forfeited if he loses.
