The Court of Appeal on Wednesday turned down a request by a defence lawyer in a Tamweel graft case not to include any expert from the Financial Control Department of the Ruler's Court on the audit expert committee.
Defence lawyer Dr Habibi Al Mulla urged the judge that the committee, which was assigned with looking into the facts of the case and drawing up a report, be independent of the Financial Control Department.
The case involves two former top executives of Tamweel (Emiratis), who are accused of collecting bribes worth more than Dh41 million while purchasing plots in Sama Al Jaddaf project at their cost price and then reselling them at a higher price.
