UAE court clears ex-minister of fraud

A former United Arab Emirates cabinet minister was acquitted on Thursday of fraud after he appealed a jail sentence handed earlier this year, his lawyer said.

Former state minister Khalifa Bakhit al-Falasi was sentenced to two years in prison in February for taking control of a software company after his Lebanese partner died.

A Dubai appeals court also acquitted two co-defendants -- a US citizen and an Indian citizen -- lawyer Hussein al-Jaziri told AFP.

Falasi had been stripped of his post in July on the orders of UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahayan, amid a crackdown on corruption in the business hub of Dubai.END
