Former minister Norman Baker called for Scotland Yard to investigate after Michael Fawcett dramatically stepped down as chief executive of The Prince’s Foundation.
The charity confirmed Mr Fawcett has temporarily given up the role while allegations relating to his dealings with Sheikh Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz are investigated by its trustees.
Mr Mahfouz is said to have made several six-figure donations to the foundation, whose central aim is to “regenerate” Dumfries House, an 18th-century mansion in Scotland.
He is the holder of an honorary CBE, one rank below a knighthood, which he received from Prince Charles in 2016.
Yesterday, a Sunday newspaper published a letter apparently signed by Mr Fawcett offering to make an application for Mr Mahfouz to be made a knight (KBE) as well as supporting his bid for British citizenship.
The letter, dated August 2017 and addressed to an aide of Mr Mahfouz, acknowledges the sheikh’s “ongoing and most recent generosity”.
