The spokesman explained that that the brothers owed USD326.6 million to 20 different commercial banks and USD163.3 million to the company itself.
Damas added that Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) expected the Middle East’s biggest jeweler to solve the issue in a month; else it would take action by liquidation of Damas’s assets.
