A former senior manager at the port operator DP World is accused of asking for Dh4,800,000 million in bribes from two companies, in exchange for helping them to win two major construction projects, a court has heard.
Five of the defendants are also charged with money laundering the bribe cash through another company owned by Lebanese defendant.
Prosecutors said the alleged crimes happened between 2012 and 2014 and were reported to the authorities by the Syrian DP World employee, after she was not paid her full share of the cash.
