The Marcoses, Khashoggi and six others initially were charged in federal court in October, 1988, with stealing $103 million in Philippine funds and then defrauding U.S. banks of $165 million to buy prime Manhattan properties between 1972 and 1978.
Khashoggi is accused of obstructing justice by helping the Marcoses conceal their interest in four New York office buildings. He allegedly submitted forged and backdated documents purporting to show that he had acquired the properties before a federal court order was issued freezing the Marcos assets around the world.
