Acquitted executive, wife trapped in Dubai as prosecutors lodge appeal

"An Australian executive acquitted of fraud-related charges in Dubai has been rocked by the news that prosecutors will appeal against the verdict.

The decision means Marcus Lee and his wife are likely to spend at least another year in the emirate, where Mr Lee has been held under effective house arrest for more than four years.

“Julie and I are both devastated by the news," Mr Lee told Fairfax Media. Under Australian law, prosecutors are unable to appeal an acquittal."
