Yesterday the Gulf News reported the arrest of a former prominent individual at the DIFC for abuse of his post and AED 50 million (US$ 13.6 million) in financial irregularities. At that point identified only with the initials OS.
This morning he's been identified in the press - but not by the authorities - as Dr. Oman Bin Suleiman. You'll recall last November Shaykh Mohammed relieved Dr. Omar from his position as Governor of the DIFC.
Those who remember their history will recall that back in 2004 the then Head of the DFSA Philip Thorpe and one of his colleagues were summarily ejected from their posts because of their temerity in raising some questions about real estate deals done by the DIFC with related parties.
