Prince Andrew is spared a trial in the abuse process. The British royal has paid millions in compensation as stipulated in the settlement.
London – Prince Andrew (62) is poorer by several million. A few weeks after the out-of-court settlement between him and plaintiff Virginia Giuffre (38), the Duke of York paid off his debts.
In August last year, Virigina Giuffre filed a lawsuit against Prince Andrew in a New York court for abuse, and he has now been able to settle his legal dispute with the American. In order to avoid a trial, Prince Andrew agreed to a settlement and compensation in the millions in mid-February. The exact sum is not known, according to media reports it should be around twelve million pounds (approx. 14.4 million euros).
24royal.de* reveals how Prince Andrew is said to have raised the millions for the comparison.
In the run-up, there had already been heated speculation about how Queen Elizabeth II's son (95) wanted to pay the amount. According to the Times, after the payment to Virginia Giuffre, both parties asked the court to drop the case, which Judge Lewis Kaplan (77) apparently signed on Tuesday. *24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
