Hilarious: Dubai royals were held up for euro2 million in London

Read here:

Members of an armed gang are on trial after they’ve been charged with stealing millions from the Dubai royal family. The £2million heist ($3,099,000) was the royal family’s “holiday spending money” set aside for its visit to London on June 24.

Royal aide Abdullah Shakeri, who testified from behind a protective screen, said he thought members of the gang were only joking when they first approached him outside the Emirates Bank in Knightsbridge, West London with the demand to “put the cases down or I’ll shoot you in the face.” The Daily Mail reports that the robbers then repeated their threat and told Shakeri he would be shot if he did not flee the scene.

Prosecutor Alexandra Felix said the money was divided into £50 notes, held in two suitcases. “The royal family were in the UK and required money for their stay here,” Felix said. “Mr Shakeri had made arrangements to collect the money. He and the manager went into a room to count the money. The cash was in £50 note bundles which was placed in suitcases.”

Shakeri described the man who held him at gunpoint as a young Middle Eastern man with short dark gelled hair and a leather jacket. “He had a gun. I think it was a black automatic handgun. He pointed it at me,” Shakeri said. The man then shouted for an accomplice, whom Shakeri described as a black man wearing a white hard hat and a “high visibility jacket.” The accomplice reportedly told Shakeri and the other royal family staff to run into a nearby shop. “We did as we were asked so we went into a H&M just next to the bank,” Shakeri said.

After the robbers fled, the royal family staff radioed the diplomatic protection group, who pursued the suspects. A man fitting the description of the first suspect was spotted just 300 feet from the crime scene but escaped and has yet to be found.

An officer spotted the suspect throwing a metallic object under a car, which he thought was a gun but turned out to be two mobile phones.

However, police were able to apprehend getaway driver Johnathon Haynes, 36, along with the royal family’s stolen cash. They also found the hard hat, the high-visibility jacket and a passport for Trevor Mair, 46, inside the car.

When Haynes was handcuffed, he reportedly told the arresting officers, “Yes, OK, fair enough. Are you going to take me to the police station now because I’m a bit cold.”

Saudi Arabia victors in OPEC dispute

In summary, output remains unchanged amidst constrained budgets of Middle Eastern countries, and Libya is coming back online fast.

VIENNA (Reuters) – OPEC oil producers on Wednesday sealed their first new output agreement in three years in a deal that settles a 6-month-old argument over supply policy firmly in Saudi Arabia’s favor.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries agreed a target of 30 million barrels daily, ratifying current production near 3-year highs. It did not discuss individual national quotas.

The deal vindicates Saudi Arabia after its proposal to raise output in June to stem rising prices was rejected by price hawks led by Iran, Algeria and Venezuela.

“For the Saudis it’s a fantastic decision,” said Jamie Webster of Washington consultancy PFC Energy.

Saudi said it pumped 10 million barrels a day last month, 25 percent above its old OPEC quota, in what Gulf delegates said was a demonstration of strength to the price hawks ahead of the meeting.

In theory the agreement caps output for all 12 OPEC members for the first half of 2012 at levels that should permit a modest rebuilding of lean global inventories.

“We’re not going to bypass it, we’re going to adhere to it,” promised OPEC Secretary General Abdullah al-Badri of the new supply limit. “Saudi Arabia will abide by this decision for sure.”

That will depend on whether or not Saudi and its Gulf Arab allies decide to ease back supply as post-civil war Libya heads towards full production or keep the taps open to drive oil below $100 a barrel.

Saudi Arabia did not allay doubts about its intentions.

“If Libya increases it doesn’t necessarily mean Saudi will cut,” said Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi. “We don’t react to that, we react to market demand,” he said.

Oil analysts warned that without defined individual national quotas, leakage above the new limit was very possible.

“Someone has to cut back to accommodate Libya, that has to be done,” said analyst Lawrence Eagles of JP Morgan. “As always with OPEC the proof will be in the pudding. How closely will they stick to the new limit?”

“The whole organization has to be at 30 million so if someone goes up somebody else should come down. But it’s like anything when you divide responsibility — it often ends up falling through the cracks,” said Webster of PFC.

Those concerns helped undermine oil prices. London Brent eased more than $3 to near $106 a barrel, down from a year-high $127 in April. U.S. crude fell over $4 to near $96.

Rising supply from Saudi Arabia and its Gulf Arab neighbors Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates has kept a leash on oil prices as Riyadh seeks to help nurture global growth by keeping fuel costs under control.

Mortgage refinancing applications spiked last week

(Reuters) – Applications for refinancing on home mortgages jumped last week, even as demand for new home purchases dried up, an industry group said on Wednesday.

The Mortgage Bankers Association said its seasonally adjusted index of mortgage application activity, which includes both refinancing and home purchase demand, rose 4.1 percent in the week ended Dec 9.

The MBA’s seasonally adjusted index of refinancing applications climbed 9.3 percent, while the gauge of loan requests for home purchases tumbled 8.2 percent.

The refinance share of total mortgage activity rose to 79.7 percent of applications from 76.0 percent the week before.

Fixed 30-year mortgage rates averaged 4.12 percent, down 6 basis points from 4.18 percent the week before. It was the lowest rate this year, MBA said.

The survey covers over 75 percent of U.S. retail residential mortgage applications, according to MBA.

Germany blocks ECB, France wants last resort lending

BERLIN/FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Germany’s chancellor and central banker urged Europe to stick to stricter budget discipline and forget about one-shot solutions after financial markets judged that another EU summit had failed to resolve the euro zone’s debt crisis.

Chancellor Angela Merkel and Bundesbank chief Jens Weidmann, speaking separately, rebuffed pressure for the European Central Bank to intervene decisively to stop the crisis escalating.

Merkel told parliament on Wednesday it would take years, not weeks, to overcome the debt problems but Europe would emerge stronger “if we have the necessary patience and endurance, if we do not let reversals get us down, if we consistently move towards a fiscal and stability union”.

“The German government has always made it clear that the European debt crisis is not to be solved with a single blow. There is no such single blow,” she said.

Weidmann, an influential voice in the ECB, made clear his opposition to ramping up purchases of troubled euro zone states’ debt, saying he was “no fan” of the existing limited bond-buying program and even its supporters were growing skeptical.

He also said the Bundesbank would only provide fresh funds for the International Monetary Fund to help fight the euro zone crisis if countries beyond Europe did so too.

The euro fell below $1.30 for the first time since January, stocks slid and Italy had to pay a euro era record yield to sell bonds as nervous investors awaited a possible credit rating downgrade for one or more euro zone countries.

Rome had to pay 6.47 percent to sell 3 billion euros of 5-year bonds, highlighting fierce market pressure ahead of a year in which Italy has a gross funding goal of 440 billion euros, starting in late January.

Safe-haven German Bund futures rose by more than one full point due to renewed doubts about the effectiveness of last week’s agreement on deeper fiscal union.

Ireland’s European Affairs Minister, Lucinda Creighton, said last week’s summit agreement by 26 European Union states, with Britain dissenting, to negotiate a new fiscal pact to enforce EU budget rules more strictly was not going to stop the rot.

“Having the fiscal compact in place by March is desirable but I don’t think it’s going to save the euro,” she told reporters on a visit to Paris.

“Ideally (I would like to see) a very clear declaration from the ECB that it is prepared to do whatever is necessary to save the currency, and it is the ultimate backstop,” Creighton said. “I don’t think we’re there yet but I feel we will end up there.”

Ireland and France saw eye-to-eye about the need for the central bank to act as lender of last resort, but there was no consensus on this yet, she said. Paris has toned down calls for ECB action, stressing its respect for the bank’s independence partly in deference to its close alliance with Germany.

Creighton warned that the crisis was likely to accelerate when countries such as Italy and Spain went to market in January and February to raise funds. “They will be challenged. We’ve yet to see the scale of that challenge,” she said.

Weidmann told journalists the ECB’s mandate prevented it from embarking on unlimited bond purchases and experience showed this would inevitably lead to inflation anyway.

“I think the idea is astonishing that one can win confidence by breaking rules,” he said.
