Four Nakheel Employees Under Investigation for Corruption



AlQabas reports that six individuals are under investigation for corruption - four employees of Nakheel and two from a private company over the payment of bribes.    Quoting "The Emirates Today", AlQ says that the investigation is preparatory to formal charges.

They are accused of demanding bribes and forging certain documents (unclear to me what these are) and then using them.  Perhaps, sale documents for properties.

The chief accused the former Head of Marketing for Nakheel is accused of having received AED 930,000 (note the article does not state the currency) according to investigations carried out by the Public Prosecutor during his imprisonment from last June to January.

According to the article this is the fourth corruption case at Nakheel.

With all the hot money sloshing around Dubai during the boom years, it's no surprise that there was corruption of this sort.   It would have happened in almost every other place in the world.

The rumors are certainly flying around Dubai at the moment. It's rumored that Manal Shaheen's house was raided a while ago and 300 million dirhams was found in her bedroom! So where do you think this money came from?

Maybe Manal and her rumored accomplice Alya Mahdy are heading to jail after all? No wonder Manal was a no-show at Matt Joyce and Marcus Lee's trial about a month ago.
