The Dubai Criminal Court of First Instance decided to withdraw on Thursday from a case of bribery and embezzlement related to mortgage financier Tamweel.
Presiding Judge Hamad Abdul Latif referred the case file to Ahmed Ibrahim Saif, Chief Justice of Dubai Criminal Court, asking it to be transferred to another court. Though no reason for the decision was announced, sources said UAE courts have the right to withdraw from a case if any court member feels "embarrassment".
The five defendants involved in the case are AS (Emirati, former Tamweel CEO), WA (Pakistani), MA (Pakistani), RR (Ukrainian) and AH (Emirati, ex-Tamweel commercial manager).
