The Sultan of Brunei - one of the world's richest men - has failed in his attempt to have younger brother, Prince Jefri, jailed in Britain in a family feud over £8 billion.
Prince Jefri Bolkiah won a key victory in Britain's High Court last week in a five-year battle that has exposed the extraordinarily extravagant lifestyles of the brothers.
rince Jefri, who has not spoken to the Sultan for two years, will now try to clear his name, arguing that the acquisition of assets was made with his brother's knowledge and with his full authority and approval.
