Consequently Dubai prosecution office supervised the investigations. When interrogated, the victim confirmed that he received the cheque from the accused at the later's house in Dubai in December 2007. He added that the cheque amount is the income of investing his monies with the indictee. On the other hand, Al-Bushi admitted, during the interrogations, that he handed the cheque to the victim in Egypt.
