BR Shetty and the Missing Millions | Al Jazeera World

This is a story of a financial scandal, of fortunes won and lost and political collusion in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that goes right to the heart of Emirati business and politics.
At the centre of it is a self-made Indian billionaire - Dr BR Shetty.
As founder of New Medical Centre Health (NMC), Shetty built relationships with the UAE's all-powerful sheikhs that appeared to open doors. Business was booming and, in 2012, NMC was the first Abu Dhabi company to be listed on the London Stock Exchange. The Initial Public Offering (IPO) raised $186m and raised NMC's market value to more than $8bn.
The first rumblings of financial trouble, however, came in December 2019 when an American investment firm published a damning report on NMC's finances. NMC's shares plummeted by 48 percent, wiping $1.5bn off the Shetty family fortune.
In April 2020, NMC Health went into administration in the United Kingdom for insolvency. Later that month, the UAE Central Bank ordered the seizure of all of Shetty and his family's assets and Shetty left the country. He now sees himself as the victim, claiming alleged fraud and misconduct within NMC - and has promised to clear his name and restore his business reputation.

There is absolutely no proof of the Top Guys involvement. The Sheikhs have been careful from the start to keep their names out of everything. In fact this is apparently standard procedure in the UAE. Did none of you follow the story at all? Muddy Waters got rich on short sale, after identifying the debts, which was the one thing that brought the company crashing down. Then the Sheikhs 'advised' Shetty to leave. He was basically a front for the Sheikhs money laundering. And the "world's greatest Auditing company," "Earnst and Young" didnt spot the problems the ENTIRE time? One of their directors was also on the board of NMC. A den of thieves with a clueless silver tongue Indian as the fall guy. 👏🏽👏🏽

@@jasmineabdulla5719 I cannot compare apples with orange. AlJazeera is an Islamic media group - born, raised and nurtured in Qatar. I can compare it to other Islamic media, born and raised in the middle east. Please understand that no Islamic media can ever reach glorious heights. So, it will be a futile exercise to compare AlJazeera to WSJ, New York Times or Washington Post. Muslim journalists lack that class of merit. So, I think, it is fair to compare AlJazeera to Khaleej Times and Gulf News. Jasmine, are you aware that only select people can write " Letters to the Editor " in Khaleej Times ? There is one Indian woman in UAE, named Jayashree Kulkarni. Her letters have appeared every single day, for the last 35 years, in Khaleej Times !!!!!!

"Quality health care at an affordable cost" .... isn't the UAE dripping with oil money?, shouldn't they be providing hospitals and medical care to the citizens of their own countries?, after all you couldn't spend the billions they have in 20 lifetimes, isn't this what other countries pay taxes for?, for health care, for hospitals?, isn't that where our taxes are supposed to go?, why on earth would you imagine that anyone is investing "healthcare" for the good of those seeking the care?, their simply mining those people for money

How was Dr Shetty allowed to leave the UAE without any legal action being taken against him inspite of committing such a huge crime ? Very surprising indeed . Fact is Dr Shetty was made a scapegoat for the crimes of powerful figures in the UAE. NMC was targeted and systematically looted by these individuals while EY the auditors looked the other way.Two unknown individuals without any background or financial experience acting as proxies suddenly become important figures in the company with an investment far beyond their own capacity. All these facts prove that the entire exercise was a meticulously planned fraud which was perpetrated and took place with the approval of the people in power. Dr Shetty is ironically just a helpless victim of this brazen royal heist unable to even clear his name. That the UAE is on the FATF list is revealing though not surprising - people doing business there should be careful.

Demetrous jk ,i agree,there is more to this,BR Shetty might be an innocent man who got caught up in a bigger game than he could stomach !

It seems unlikely that a man who once arrived in the region with only $8 in his pocket and worked so hard to create a healthcare giant would be involved in such a scandal. But at times it can be all too difficult to run something so big and bad decisions are made. It's also likely that his unrelated purchases of the Assam tea company in Assam, India played a part in this debt creation. He took over many failing, debt laden hospitals in India, like the Seven Hills Hospital in Mumbai, which was over 1,300 CR INR in debt. so that can also be a factor. there is also speculation that the Manghat brothers who joined NMC Group in 2003 disguised the true state of the finances in NMC after B.R. Shetty devoted more time to philanthropy at the time. As to why he was allowed to leave, The UAE Higher court had not confiscated his passport and said "You cannot leave the country". So he left. Him not planning to come back is another matter altogether. The important lesson is that, when you do make it big, you do it with a sense of integrity, and don't be overconfident.

[@jayesh5512]

@@robertonditi7715 There was an article published by the national saying that he wants to clear his name. this may confirm that he is willing to go to the last drop of his blood to find out who's tarnished his name and tainted his image. But with $6.6 Bn in debt, even his best efforts may not be enough. He technically owes a lot of money to a lot of banks. Who wouldn't go looking after him? It's a lot of money!
