Companies linked to Robert and Vincent Tchenguiz, the property entrepreneurs, have filed creditors’ claims totalling £2.26bn against Kaupthing, despite being among the failed Icelandic banks biggest borrowers.
The claims, which comes a year after the brothers lost a substantial slug of their wealth in the collapse, are likely to be viewed as controversial.
It emerged last summer that Robert Tchenguiz had borrowed £1.5bn from the bank and Vincent Tchenguiz had loans of more than £160m.
