Dubai court orders man to pay $1.25 bn to Denmark in tax fraud case

A British man accused by Denmark of masterminding a USD 1.7 billion tax fraud has been ordered by a Dubai court to pay Copenhagen's tax authority USD 1.25 billion, court filings seen on Friday show, just days after another Dubai court rejected an extradition order for him. The order by the Dubai Court of Appeal against Sanjay Shah comes as part of a civil case filed four years ago by Denmark's tax authority, who have been pursuing him as part of their investigation in one of the country's largest-ever tax fraud case.

Danish national contests extradition in $1.7 billion fraud case in Dubai

The lawyer of a British man who was arrested in Dubai for allegedly masterminding a USD 1.7 billion tax scheme in Denmark asked judges on Monday not to extradite him. Denmark wants hedge fund trader Sanjay Shah extradited from the United Arab Emirates, but Shah's lawyer, Ali al-Zarooni, argued in court that an international extradition treaty between the two countries is still not active in the UAE. Speaking in front of three judges in a session behind closed doors, al-Zarooni asked the court to deny the extradition request. Al-Zarooni told The Associated Press after the hearing that he believed Denmark had breached international treaties regarding extradition pursuing its request. Danish officials signed an agreement in March allowing for extradition between the UAE and Denmark. Shah has maintained his innocence in interviews with journalists while living in Dubai over the last few years. The hedge fund manager had run a center for autistic children in Dubai that shut down in 2020
