Sanjay Shah

The Dubai Court of Appeal has ruled to extradite Sanjay Shah, a British citizen, to the Danish authorities for his involvement in fraud and money launderin.

The ruling follows the hearing of an appeal by Chancellor Essam Issa Al Humaidan, Attorney General of Dubai, to the Dubai Court of Cassation against a previous ruling of the Dubai Court of Appeal rejecting a request for the suspect’s extradition. The British hedge fund trader was arrested by Dubai police for dividend tax fraud worth $1.7 billion. Danish authorities want the suspect for alleged fraud and money laundering.

Dubai court ruling issued upon request by Denmark to extradite Shah over money laundering.

The court later ruled to extradite him to the Danish authorities. Shah is the main suspect in the biggest $1.7 billion of tax fraud and money laundering in Denmark. The Court of Cassation decided to return the case to the Court of Appeal for reconsideration by a different judicial body.

British citizen who lived in Dubai denies charges and says he was operating within Danish law.

"From our initial reading of the judgment, we believe that the law should be interpreted and applied in a different way. "Danish authorities want the suspect for alleged fraud and money laundering. Dubai Court of Cassation, the top court in the emirate's three-tier system, in October referred the extradition case against Mr "Dubai Police arrested Shah earlier this year following an extradition request from Danish authorities. "We now have 30 days in which to appeal today’s judgment in the Court of Cassation, the highest court in the UAE, and in our appeal we will fully explain our reasoning. "The Dubai Court of Appeal has issued a ruling to extradite Sanjay Shah, a British citizen, to Denmark," said a statement issued by Dubai Media Office on Thursday.
