Prince Andrew innocently embroiled in fraudulent payments from 'dodgy' sources it seems?

Not a good look for 'the Royals' or British State.

I suppose when you are strapped for cash to support a royal lifestyle, you don't ask too many questions where the money is coming from?

"Prince Andrew, 63, his ex-wife, the Duchess of York, 64, and their daughters, received a series of payments totalling some £1.4 million from Selman Turk, a former Goldman Sachs banker accused of stealing £40 million from Nebahat Evyap Isbilen.

"Most of the money was paid via a UK-based company called Alphabet Capital Limited. Mrs Isbilen hired Mr Turk to help transfer her assets out of Turkey, where her husband, a wealthy MP, is a political prisoner.

"The money was transferred just nine days after Mr Turk won an award for his digital bank business idea from Pitch@Palace, the Duke’s Dragons’ Den-style initiative, at St James’s Palace.

"The court has previously heard that Alphabet, owned and operated by businessman Adrian Gleave, 52, who made his name running caravan parks, is also a signatory on the agreed statement of fact with the Yorks and Mrs Isbilen.

"The Duke was introduced to Mr Turk in May or June 2019 by Tarek Kaituni, a convicted Libyan gun smuggler who had links to Colonel Gaddafi.

"The three men are said to have met again at a dinner with potential investors at Mr Turk’s home in December 2019. Two months later, Mr Turk and Kaituni were pictured together at Frogmore House in Windsor Great Park.

The following innoculous comments were both rejected by AOL. Why?

'Do you really think he didn't know what he was doing'. And 'Now that is funny.'
