Overview
- Dettori will remain bankrupt until March 16, 2027, after trustees said he has not complied with asset inquiries, extending the case beyond the usual 12-month discharge.
- The court heard he denied ever owning property abroad before trustees identified undeclared properties in France and Italy.
- Chief Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Nicholas Briggs said criminal sanctions may help trustees uncover the full asset picture.
- Additional concerns flagged in court include a Piaget watch, a wine collection valued at about £70,000, and investments of roughly £365,000.
- Dettori filed for bankruptcy in March 2025 following an HMRC challenge over a tax debt of about £765,000, and he did not attend or have representation at the latest hearing.
