An Irish hotelier, Qatari royals and a federal lawsuit involving a Beverly Hills hotel
Briefly

Patrick McKillen, an Irish hotelier, has filed a civil racketeering complaint against Qatari royals, alleging a scheme to defraud him out of millions for work completed at the Maybourne Beverly Hills hotel. Despite overseeing a significant redevelopment project for which he claims to have not been compensated, McKillen emphasizes a longstanding pattern of illegal actions by the Qatari royal family. This lawsuit builds upon multiple ongoing litigations worldwide against them, aiming to hold key figures accountable including former emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.
In the lawsuit, McKillen claims he and his team 'undertook a massive redevelopment effort' on the Beverly Hills hotel but were not paid millions allegedly owed.
McKillen states the schemes against him are 'part of a years' long pattern of illegal racketeering orchestrated by the Qatari royals, in line with a history of illicit actions.'
