Asil Nadir, the 83-year-old former businessman known for his rise and fall with the Polly Peck conglomerate, has passed away. Initially one of Britain's wealthiest men, he was accused of embezzling millions to sustain a lavish lifestyle. Fleeing to northern Cyprus in 1993 before his trial, he spent years evading justice, claiming he would be wrongfully convicted. Nadir returned to Britain intending to clear his name but was convicted in 2012 and sentenced for his crimes. Despite a brief imprisonment in Turkey, his legacy remains deeply controversial.
Asil Nadir, once a British business mogul and fugitive, passed away at 83 after an infamous history of fraud, bankruptcy, and a controversial trial.
Nadir’s life reflected the dramatic rise and fall of Polly Peck, a conglomerate he grew from textiles to a powerhouse in the 1980s, before his downfall.
