El Kaouakibi and her partner Erika Nguyen made personal mistakes when running their catering and event agency Point Urbain. That is what the curator of Point Urbain concludes in a statement he submitted to the company court in Antwerp on Monday.
It is the first time that El Kaouakibi has been held personally liable. In the event of bankruptcy, it does not automatically happen that directors are held liable for the debts that remain behind. But according to the curator, major mistakes were made by the directors themselves. If the judge agrees with the curator’s demand, the consequences for El Kaouakibi and her partner will be far-reaching and they will have to cough up a million euros personally.
