Dubai: In a surprise move, two prosecution witnesses asked a court on Tuesday to rehear their statements, saying they had forgotten to mention important details when they earlier testified in the Mizin corruption case.
The Dubai Court of First Instance yesterday agreed to rehear the statements of an Emirati police officer and his compatriot female manager in a case of alleged financial fraud amounting to nearly Dh49 million when it reconvenes on June 21.
Mizin's former executive manager, 50-year-old Emirati S.A., and a 53-year-old Lebanese engineer, J.H., have pleaded innocent and refuted charges of bribery and financial irregularities. Both defendants are out on bail.
During Tuesday's hearing, the court heard testimony from a Lebanese sales executive and an Egyptian accounts manager.
