The Dubai Criminal Court has postponed hearings to July 28 in a case related to financial irregularities at Deyaar Real Estate Company, after the defence counsel requested that he be allowed to produce more witnesses before the court.

The lawyer, representing one of the accused, SA, who is a former Deyaar board member and former Dubai Islamic Bank chief executive officer, made the request before the court yesterday to allow the defence more time to produce the witnesses.

Only SA was produced in court, while two other accused, IA, a businessman, and AA, whose profession was not disclosed, remain in custody.
