Man accused of warning businessman that Indian mafia would kill him if he didn’t pay Dh15m

Dubai: A man has been accused of claiming that he is connected to the Indian mafia and threatening to kill a businessman if he did not pay Dh15 million.

Prosecutors charged the 53-year-old Indian suspect, A.T., with threatening to kill businessman B.S.,his compatriot,and attempting to swindle him by coercing him to pay Dh15 million.
The suspect did not appear before the Dubai Court of First Instance on Wednesday.
Presiding Judge Maher Salama Al Mahdi adjourned the case until A.T. is legally notified about the next hearing on December 5.

According to the charge sheet, prosecutors accused A.T. of threatening to kill B.S. if he did not pay Dh15 million to another man named S.
He also tried to con the businessman of his money by claiming that the Indian mafia would kill him if he failed to pay the money to S.
The 40-year-old businessman testified that the incident happened after A.T. asked to meet him.
“As soon as he arrived at my residence, he claimed that he had not come to talk about property units… but he claimed that he had a message for me. He claimed to me that someone identified as A.B. would kill me if I did not pay the money. Then he put his finger around his neck and gestured that if I failed to pay the money my neck would be slit. He also claimed to me that those people were very dangerous and strongly connected to the Indian mafia. The suspect threatened me on different occasions,” claimed the businessman.
An American investor claimed to prosecutors that he spotted and heard the suspect warning B.S. two times that he would be killed if he didn’t pay the money.
An Emirati policeman testified that he witnessed the defendant threatening the businessman two times.
“I heard A.T. saying that the mafia was present in the UAE and that he was proud of being a member of that mafia. I also witnessed that the businessman offering to pay A.T. Dh500,000 in the form of a cheque, but the latter requested two million,” claimed the policeman.
The trial continues.
