Dubai, Apr 4 (PTI) The Dubai Court of Cassation has rejected the appeal of Sanjay Shah, a British national wanted by Danish authorities on charges of fraud and money laundering, and has upheld the Dubai Court of Appeal’s ruling to grant Denmark’s request for his extradition, a statement said.
Shah, 52, a hedge fund trader, was arrested by Dubai Police in June last year in response to Denmark’s extradition petition, and his extradition was referred to the Dubai Courts by the Attorney General.
Though the Dubai Courts initially rejected Denmark’s extradition request, Attorney General Chancellor Essam Issa Al Humaidan appealed the decision in accordance with the Law of International Judicial Cooperation, and the Dubai Court of Cassation has now upheld the decision to extradite the suspect to Denmark, according to the statement issued here on Sunday evening.
