Six jailed for life in Dubai for British-Iranian investor’s abduction
 

Six Iranians were sentenced to life in jail on Wednesday for assaulting British-Iranian businessman Abbas Yazdanpanah, drugging, kidnapping and then smuggling him out of the UAE on a boat in June 2013. Dubai prosecutors sought the toughest punishment applicable against the six abductors for their involvement in the high-profile kidnap case of Yazdanpanah, who was smuggled out on a boat from Sharjah to Iran. Three accused, 32-year-old R.A., 52-year-old K.G. and 55-year-old N.A., had pleaded **t guilty before the Dubai Court of First Instance. As the UAE criminal procedures law, the trio are entitled to a retrial.
