Abu Dhabi: President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan has issued a federal decree relieving Dr. Khalifa Bakheet Al Falasi from his post as Minister of State, WAM reported.
Gulf News and other newspapers had earlier published a report quoting Dubai's Attorney General Essam Eisa Al Humaidan as saying that the Public Prosecution had referred a minister and his supposed associates to the Dubai Court of First Instance where they would be prosecuted.
The case had been filed by a Lebanese businesswoman.
"A woman allegedly accused the minister of breaching the trust of her family's business, including a huge property and a company based in Dubai," Al Humaidan said.
