‘I’m a Scapegoat,’ Says Former CEO of Dubai Construction Firm - Bloomberg:
The former chief executive officer of Drake & Scull International PJSC said the company’s accusations of financial violations against him are an attempt to find a “scapegoat” for rising losses.
Khaldoun Tabari said the Dubai-based contractor has filed 15 complaints against him to the public prosecutor last year. He said the allegations prompted authorities in the United Arab Emirates to order banks to freeze his bank accounts in June 2018. He denies any wrongdoing.
The Jordanian businessman said he hasn’t been questioned by U.A.E. authorities, who have also issued a travel ban against him while he was out of the country.
In a phone interview, Tabari also said that he only found out about the details of the probe in October, and followed up by submitting documents to prove his innocence. The last exchange between his lawyers and authorities took place at the end of 2018 and the investigation has yet to result in any formal charge, he said.
