Khaleej Times Online: "DUBAI � Police officials were reluctant to disclose details on the young Brit of Pakistani origin, Muzhar Akhtar, who has been dubbed the �Yoharah� (Jewel) thief after swindling cash in the multi-million dollar real estate venture that turned sour.
The reluctance to reveal information on the case was based on police conviction that it could adversely affect the reputation of Dubai as a booming city. When a top CID official was first asked about the case, he denied it existed in the first place. But officials recently broke the barrier of silence, reiterating that �real� real estate projects in the booming city were fully backed by Dubai government. "
