Damas in talks to recover $55 mln

UAE Jeweller Damas International said it was taking longer to recover the $55 million owed by its founders, the Abdulla brothers, due by April 30, but the delay does not mean a default.

Dubai-based Damas was ordered to dismiss its board and pay fines, after the company last year accused its former head of involvement in $165 million of "unauthorised" transactions.

"Given the complexity involved in transferring / selling the assets declared to the company, it is taking more time to affect the recoveries as per the timeline mentioned in the previous announcement by the company on 4 November 2009," Damas said in a bourse statement on Sunday.
