Inside, Mr. Power had written out his extensive plan to become a serial killer. Prosecutors initially had charged Mr. Power with attempted murder but decided in the end they could only pursue charges of burglary and property damage under current law.

Armand Arton, the chief executive, said: “The uncertainty around the government’s proposed wealth tax mirrors the ongoing economic uncertainty seen around the world. The longer unpredictability persists, the greater the risk of losing capital, talent and long-term investment to countries that offer greater security.
