Washington Post on Dubai and French Spys escaping by boat
Not really new news, but in the Washington Post this is a bad article for DXB...
Today, the former intelligence operative, who fled Dubai last summer in a rubber dinghy, is a wanted man. In June, a Dubai court convicted him in absentia on charges of embezzling $3.8 million and handed down a five-year sentence, plus a big fine. Jaubert, speaking recently at his new home near West Palm Beach, Fla., said he stole nothing and vowed never to set foot in Dubai again. He said he fled because of gruesome threats by interrogators to stick needles up his nose and what he described as constantly shifting, and all bogus, accusations relating to bullets, murder and the finances of Dubai World's now-defunct luxury submarine subsidiary.

"They picked the wrong guy," said Jaubert, 53, a former naval officer who, according to a confidential French report, left France's DGSE intelligence service in March 1993. "With my background, I don't need a passport to travel."

Another one who blames everyone else for his failings.
