The extradition case against tax fraud suspect Sanjay Shajh is back in the Dubai Court of Appeal, with a new panel of judges to hear the case. The Dubai Court of Cassation made the ruling on Monday (October 17). Shah is wanted in Denmark in connection with an alleged $1.7 billion tax fraud case. The Briton lived on the Palm Jumeirah and is accused of helping foreign businesses illegally claim tax refunds in Denmark. Shah was arrested in Dubai’s Al Rafaa district last June. He denied the charges against him. Last month, the Dubai Court of Appeal refused Denmark’s request to extradite Shah, citing lack of original official documents. At the Dubai Court of Cassation on Monday, the court said the initial ruling lacked the signature of the chief of the court that issued the verdict. Shah’s extradition case was referred back to the Dubai Court of Appeal, with a new panel of judges to be involved in the proceedings. Shah is also facing a separate civil lawsuit in Dubai where the Danish government is asking him to repay $1.25 billion in damages. ICA/Expat Media
