More on Omar Bin Sulaiman

Here's an update on Dr. Omar Bin Sulaiman by way of a press item from WAM, the Emirates Official News Agency.   

It seems the AED 50 million consists of bonuses he awarded himself for his performance while Governor of the DIFC.

What's highly interesting is the last sentence in the press release.

He also said a number of similar cases will soon be referred by the Public Prosecution to the court of justice.

Not because I'm particularly shocked that there was corruption but that it seems to be being pursued.   

In an article based on this press release, Gulf News comments:

A number of high-profile corruption cases have gone to court with the Dubai Court of Cassation handing irrevocable imprisonment and a fine of millions of dirhams to two former Nakheel executives.
The same court handed a similar jail term and fine of about Dh14 million to an Emirati former executive of Dubai Industrial City.
The Cassation Court will issue its ruling against five officials involved in the same graft case.
The Appeals Court and the Court of First Instance are looking into ten cases of corruption involving more than a dozen officials of companies such as Deyaar, Tamweel, Waterfront, Nakheel, Mizin and Dubai Islamic Bank.
Some have been sentenced and others are being questioned in court. Gulf News has learnt that Deyaar's former CEO could be facing a fifth case.
