Super-wealthy subsidised by the taxpayer: Saudi royals, billionaire tax exiles, and the Qatari owners of Harrods are among those who have claimed millions of pounds under the furlough scheme, investigation reveals



An investigation has found that billionaire tax exiles, an oil-rich nation and Saudi royals have claimed millions of pounds under the furlough scheme. The super-rich owners made the 'obscene' claims for taxpayers' cash for staff who were sent home after their businesses were closed under coronavirus restrictions. The recipients include Dubai's government and its ruler Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum (left), Jim Ratcliffe (top, second from right), the owner of chemicals company Ineos, and businessman Mohamed Al Fayed (top right). The British National party, which is led by Adam Walker (bottom right), has also claimed money under the scheme. The cost of the scheme is set to hit £66bn when it comes to an end in September, helping push the UK's national debt well over £2trillion.
