France

In 2000, Sutton was made bankrupt for 15 years by a court in Nanterre, Paris, in relation to a 1995 property transaction in which Anglo Irish Bank lost about 30m francs. Three judges ruled that Sutton and his partner extracted millions of francs from Clamart III, a company which owned and ran the former headquarters of industrial firm Bouygues. In 2002, Nanterre's superior court accused Sutton of extracting over 5m francs from a company called Prestige and spending it improperly. The court also accused him of sending 6.5m francs from Clamart III to a bank in Ireland "without justification". Sutton was convicted of "fraud and stealing or concealing assets" and sentenced to three years in prison which he did not serve as he was ruled to be en fuite (on the run). However, Sutton was never notified of the case and as such he was found guilty in absentia being able to offer no evidence with respect to his innocence nor being afforded the opportunity to examine the evidence against him. His claim was upheld during an extradition hearing in London where the French authorities were unable to offer any evidence against him, and as such the case was dismissed as being 'no case to answer'. Furthermore the court awarded all costs pertaining to the case to Sutton.

According to The Sunday Times, talks only ended after a whistleblower provided details of Sutton's past to Green at his home in Monaco, but it was Sutton who introduced Green to Retail Acquisitions, the firm that went on to buy BHS. Retail Acquisitions was owned by Dominic Chappell who had briefly been a director of Sutton's firm Containsuite.
