Thailand to extradite Briton to Dubai

18 February 2010

A court in Thailand has agreed to extradite a Briton to face embezzlement charges in Dubai. Prosecutors in the UAE issued an arrest warrant in 2008 for Michael Bryan Smith, 43, on charges of siphoning about $150m from Limitless, the real-estate unit of Dubai World. Thailand, which arrested him last May, will extradite him in 30 days, the Bangkok Criminal Court said in a statement today.
