The <\/strong>Fina<\/a><\/strong>ncial Time<\/a><\/strong>s<\/a><\/strong> is out with a piece highlighting PIF\u2019s efforts to recover mns of USD <\/strong>lost <\/strong>following the collapse of Signa Group<\/strong>, with the fund\u2019s lawyers going after Signa-founder and now bankrupt European property tycoon Ren\u00e9 Benko. PIF\u2019s lawyers have demanded the eviction of Benko and his family from their palatial home overlooking Innsbruck, Austria, while also calling on the Laura Foundation \u2014 which manages Benko\u2019s wealth \u2014 to hold all payments to beneficiaries, the salmon-colored paper said citing a letter it has seen.<\/p>\n

IN CONTEXT- <\/strong>PIF is among the largest creditors of now-collapsed Signa \u2014 which filed for<\/a>bankruptcy in 2023<\/a> amid falling property prices and rising interest rates \u2014 and is owed something in the order of hundreds of USD mns by the entity, the salmon-colored paper explained. The group\u2019s sprawling corporate structure has made asset recovery difficult, with administrators warning that creditors will likely only recoup a fraction of their investments.<\/p>\n

Where is Benko now? <\/strong>Benko is currently facing criminal charges, including embezzlement and concealing assets, with investigations focusing on his personal wealth and the Laura Foundation, which he allegedly used to hide assets. Benko\u2019s lawyers say he denies the charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
