Dubai fraud case: Emails suggest Alexander Downer was asked to lobby on behalf of Marcus Lee - ABC News:



"An email exchange obtained by the ABC has raised more questions about the involvement of former foreign minister Alexander Downer in the case of two Australian property executives jailed in Dubai.



The ABC's Foreign Correspondent program revealed last night that Mr Downer, while working as a consultant for hire, had written to the country's Crown Prince in 2009 seeking bail for one of the Australians, Matt Joyce.



The approach involved a negotiation of a success fee, estimated at $60,000."
