Ex-wife of Dubai royal fears arrest over custody battle

The former wife of a member of Dubai's ruling family expressed concern over possible arrest as her ex-husband has filed a criminal case accusing her of kidnapping their three young daughters, reported British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

Since their divorce in 2019, Zeynab Javadli has been involved in a bitter custody battle with her ex-husband Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who is the nephew of the ruler of Dubai.

It has come to a head in recent weeks as the children have changed hands between the parents several times, with each accusing the other of kidnapping them, said the BBC report.

Javadli also potentially faces arrest for e-crimes - online offences - after she livestreamed the latest showdown, the report added.
