Detained in Dubai
Expats advised: Prepare properly if forced to leave debts in the UAE.

It is one of the enduring legends of Dubai. Supercars left behind at the airport to gather dust as high flying expats’ debt suddenly caught up with them in the crash of ’08. Dubai, known for high rolling lifestyle and tax free wages, also had (and still has) an underdeveloped judicial system, open to legal abuse and manipulation. They also treat debt as a criminal, rather than a civil matter and they jail debtors. Indefinitely.
