Ex-minister's case adjourned for tomorrow

The Dubai Court of Cassation has adjourned until tomorrow an appeal filed by the Public Prosecution and the plaintiff challenging an earlier verdict by the Dubai Appeals Court in a case concerning a former minister.

The Appeals Court had earlier found the accused, KBF, who was also the UAE's first ambassador to Australia, not guilty of fraud. The plaintiff, Maysoun Fehmi Jamal, and the Public Prosecution had filed appeals challenging the verdict.

Yesterday's hearing was attended by KBF, while the plaintiff could not attend, which made the judge adjourn to tomorrow as today is a public holiday on account of Isra Wal Miraj. The verdict is expected to be heard tomorrow.
