French film star entitled to €4.87m damages arising from fraud, rules judge

The judge also appointed receivers over and made permanent various freezing orders against several assets linked to Mr Birles and various defendants.The assets the receivers will sell to satisfy the judgment include three sailboats in Co Cork and one in Italy, a house in Youghal, Co Cork, and money held in various bank accounts linked to the defendants.

The orders were also made against the US registered, American Sail & Motor Navigation Inc, Amalgamated Plantations Company Ltd, which is registered in the British Virgin Islands. The judge had previously granted formal judgment against various parties who either elected not to contest the applications or never made an appearance in court to deny the claims against them.Two other companies that Mr Boon claims were part of the fraud committed against him — Asia Monaco Investments Ltd, with an address in Lusk Co Dublin, and Monaco-registered Asia Monaco Sarl — have denied the claims and oppose any orders being made against them.

Mr Fanning said Mr Boon advanced a further €2.2 million, on foot of advice from Mr Birles, through SSMM towards the maintenance and upkeep of his client’s yacht. Following contact from a whistleblower and subsequent investigation by a personal investigator, Belgium-based Mr Boon secured High Court freezing orders in July preventing several corporate entitles Mr Birles allegedly either controls or is the ultimate beneficial owner of from reducing their assets below a value of €6 million.
