Expats being thrown in jail, Dubai
Australians in Dubai face fraud charges | smh.com.au
Now this story is not related to aviation but when the economy starts to collapse in and around Dubai western executives are being rounded up and put in jail. Very odd.

'odd' because thrown in jail and detained without charge, it's possible these expat executives being used to cover up corruption at a higher level?

Yarra, did you read the article before replying?
"Many of the senior managers, who worked for government-owned companies, remain in jail without charge"
Does the above statement ellude to a great environment in Dubai? Or are we so used to this sort of thing here, it becomes no longer "odd"? What is this place, guantanamo bay?
It seems much like the rest of the world; it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Round up the fraudsters I say. There are plenty out there. Including a few within our own ranks. The M&H affair springs to mind.
The sooner this place cleans up its act the better it will be for us all.

And we all through this was the land of the B all to end all?
We're infidels, we are expendable, so we will take the fall. A good lesson for any of us on this polished turd called Dubai. No justice and no mercy. These "people" have been at this business (slavery) for centuries.

And, of course, there is Dawood Ibrahim, the notorious financier of terrorist attacks, who can even hold his daughter's wedding in beautiful Dubai without any interference from the local cops.
