A lawyer acting for a defendant in a high-profile court case probing alleged corruption in Dubai on Monday opened a case against the former chairman of an Islamic bank for allegedly concealing a $501m fraud.
Habib al-Mulla, the lawyer for Omair Mooraj, a former executive at Dubai Islamic Bank, filed the civil suit against Mohammed bin Kharbash, a former finance minister who was previously the bank’s chairman, as well as three other senior bank officials. The suit claims the men covered up the alleged fraud.
The court filing calls on the public prosecution to “start legal proceedings” against the senior DIB managers and to pay damages to Mr Mooraj. Mr bin Kharbash declined to comment on the case on Monday.
