In 2017, Arif Naqvi and The Abraaj Group were on the brink of
changing the world of private equity. Abraaj was a pioneer of a new
model of impact investing built on the idea that making money and
doing good are not mutually exclusive. It had helped transform
communities and companies across the Middle East, Asia, Africa and
Latin America by investing in healthcare, education and clean
energy, and in 2017 it was on the threshold of closing a new fund
that would provide $6 billion worth of investment to these emerging
markets. But then it all came crashing down. On 10 April 2019,
after landing at London Heathrow, Naqvi was arrested on fraud
charges. He is facing extradition to the United States and a
potential prison sentence of up to 291 years if he is found guilty.
The dominant media narrative has painted Naqvi as a thief and
fraudster, the so-called key man in an organised criminal
conspiracy. But in this explosive new book, which is based on
extensive research and interviews with key players, Brian Brivati
discovers that things are not quite what they seem and finds that
in this case of alleged fraud there is actually no money missing.
Icarus explores how Abraaj found itself caught in the middle of a
geopolitical war between the United States and China and when it
would not bow to the whims of these global behemoths, economic
hitmen tried to wipe it out.
