Key witness fails to turn up for Mizin case hearing

The latest hearing in a case involving a former CEO of Mizin real estate firm was adjourned yesterday after a key witness failed to appear.

The ex-CEO, UAE national SA, and a Lebanese businessman, JH, face a number of charges arising from alleged financial irregularities. Both men were at Dubai Criminal Court yesterday when Mizin's accounts auditor MR, who was said to have had the complete file on the case, failed to turn up for unspecified reasons.

Meanwhile, JH's lawyer was unable to attend as he had to travel abroad on a medical matter, and his place was taken by another lawyer.
