The First Instance Court in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, has been recently hearing an inheritance case, the circumstances of which, if we take a closer look at them, are rather curious, and suggest that Dubai perhaps has become a place where some persons, connected to the Russian criminal circles, are trying to carry out seizure of expensive real estate.
This story began four years ago, on the 13 of May, 2014, when a 42-year old Russian national, businessman Dmitry Timinskiy, suddenly died (...)
