Abbott intervened for Abu Dhabi accused: report | Business Spectator

Abbott intervened for Abu Dhabi accused: report | Business Spectator:

"Tony Abbott met with the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi not long before a bribery case there against two Australian businessmen was reversed, The Australian reports.

The newspaper said the prime minister secretly met with Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan just 12 days before Australians Matthew Joyce and Marcus Lee were acquitted.

Mr Abbott discussed his concerns about the case when he met Sheik Mohammed in Abu Dhabi on October 30 on the way back from a visit to Afghanistan.

The meeting was not disclosed at the time, the newspaper says.

The prime minister's office declined to comment about the meeting."
