Australian men Matthew Joyce and Marcus Lee cleared of bribery, fraud-related charges in Dubai - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Australian men Matthew Joyce and Marcus Lee cleared of bribery, fraud-related charges in Dubai - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation):

"A four-year legal nightmare in the Middle East for two Australian businessmen appears to be all but over.

Matthew Joyce and Marcus Lee have not been able to leave Dubai since 2009 when Gold Coast development company Sunland accused them of fraud-related charges over a property deal.

The threat of 10 years jail has been hanging over Mr Joyce's head after he was convicted at trial in June but that conviction was later overturned.

Mr Lee was acquitted, but Dubai prosecutors appealed against the outcomes for both men.

The Dubai Court of Appeal has now ruled that both men did nothing wrong, clearing the pair of bribery and fraud-related charges."
