A case of bribery and revealing company secrets brought against four former employees of the real estate developer, Sama Dubai, will now be heard on March 15, after the previous court date of March 8 coincided with a public holiday to mark the Prophet’s birthday.

The most senior former businessman to be referred for trial in the case is AM, 42, the Emirati former chief executive of Sama Dubai’s The Lagoons project. He is charged with asking for bribes in the form of properties and cash from Sama Dubai clients that led to the company incurring a loss of Dh137 million (US$37m), prosecution sources confirmed.
