A BILLIONAIRE diamond trader has died during a penis enlargement operation at a posh Parisian clinic, it was reported.
Ehud Arye Laniado died at the age of 65 in the clinic of an unnamed plastic surgeon on the Avenue des Champs-Elysees in the French capital Paris.
According to local media, complications during surgery proved fatal for the Belgian-Israeli dual national and he suffered a heart attack when a substance was injected into his penis.
The billionaire, whose exact fortune is not publicly known, got in trouble with the authorities in 2013.
He faced a claim for £4 billion from the Belgian authorities for tax evasion on diamonds illegally imported from Congo and Angola, Belgium's GVA reported.
Laniado reportedly prevented a tax evasion trial by agreeing to pay £137.7m.
However, as the Belgian customs office suspected him of lying or giving incomplete information about some of the diamonds imported from Angola and Congo, they still claimed £4 billion as well as a £1.7 million fine.
Even though two courts dismissed the Belgian customs office’s claim, an appeals court ordered a new trial with Laniado due to appear in court on 14th March.
Laniado's company Omega Diamonds, which is based in the Belgian city of Antwerp where most of the world's top diamond traders operate, confirmed his passing.
A statement read: “Farewell to a visionary businessman. It is with great sadness that we confirm that our founder Ehud Arye Laniado has passed away.”
