"Former CEO of Dubai developer Zack Shahin was sentenced to 10 years in jail for abusing his position, Gulf News reported on Wednesday.
The Dubai Appeal Court convicted 49-year-old American-Lebanese of taking bribes of up to AED20 million ($5.4 million) from Thermo, a Canadian construction company, so it could secure lucrative tenders with the developer.
In 2013, Shahin was sentenced to 15 years in jail, while three others were each given sentences of 10 years for their part in the tender scam." Of course, if he were American, he would have been awarded contracts with sons of Zayid. (thanks Laure)
