(London, England) The student son of a wealthy Yemeni businessman, 21-year-old Farouk Abdulhak, is being sought by British authorities for questioning in the death of Norwegian socialite, Martine Vik Magnussen, 23.
Farouk fled Britain last Saturday, smuggled out on a private jet, to Athens and then to Yemen which, by the way, has a no-extradition clause in its Constitution.
Farouk's father, Shaher Abdulhak, is a politically-savvy billionaire in Yemen, known as the "King of Sugar."
A Western diplomatic source said of Mr Abdulhak's case: "If the father decides his son will not be touched, he will not be touched. He will be completely protected."
Magnussen was last seen alive with Farouk as they left an exclusive Mayfair nightclub. Two days later and the day after Farouk left Britain, her partially-clothed body was found hidden in a basement of Farouk's apartment building.
Dr Abu Bakr al-Qurbi, Yemen's foreign minister, said: "It is with regret that we have read about the incident in the newspapers.
"We are prepared to co-operate with British authorities, but for the time being we are awaiting more information about the subject matter."
I'm not convinced that "prepared to co-operate" means anything, especially since Farouk's father has already hired a London-based international extradition expert law firm.
Also not to be discounted is the fact that the Yemenis are still mad at the Brits for not handing over the hook-handed Muslim hate preacher Abu Hamza. Instead, Hamza was extradited to the U.S. to face terrorism charges.
