DUBAI // An Iraqi member of parliament has been arrested in Dubai over a bad cheque for Dh7 million.

Prosecutors are deciding on whether to press charges against Mohammed Al Tai for allegedly offering a cheque that bounced.

Dubai’s Attorney General, Essam Al Humaidan, said the case is still under investigation and that he cannot comment until after prosecutors have done their jobs, in accordance with legal procedures.

However, he did say that the Iraqi MP was questioned in the presence of his lawyer, according to Dubai Media Office tweets.
