WILLEMSTAD - Hushang Ansary is prepared to comply with the billion-dollar judgment in the case regarding the insurance company ENNIA. Parman bv's lawyer, Mirto Murray, reports this in a letter to the Central Bank. The intention was allegedly taken on behalf of all other defendants.
Ansary, 95, an American of Iranian descent, owns ENNIA through Parman.
Ansary must pay more than a billion guilders in damages to his own insurance company Ennia, excluding statutory interest from 2017.
He and several co-directors were accused of deliberately draining ENNIA financially. The Central Bank intervened in 2018, placed the insurer under guardianship and filed a lawsuit against the directors to recover the money for the benefit of the policyholders.
The appeal against that judgment will be heard this month. Murray writes in the letter to the Central Bank that Parman BV wants to stop the legal proceedings.
In addition to Parman and Ansary, the defendants in this case are also his daughter Nina Ansary and the former ENNIA directors Ralph Palm, Gijsbert van Doorn and Abdallah Andraous.
