Australian Marcus Lee flies home from Dubai after four-year legal nightmare - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation):
"Australian businessman Marcus Lee has boarded a flight and left Dubai more than four years after he was first arrested on fraud charges he was later cleared of.
Mr Lee served nine months in prison before being acquitted twice of fraud charges relating to a property deal.
On Friday, Mr Lee and his wife tried to board a flight home but were turned away by authorities.
The Australian Ambassador to Dubai intervened and gave high-level assurances the Lees would be allowed to leave Dubai on a flight the next day.
Mr Lee's lawyer, John Sneddon, says he has received word today that his client has cleared customs and is on a flight to Sydney."
