*A man and his wife, who were convicted of stealing Dh184,000 from the wife's elderly sponsor, have failed to convince the Dubai Appeal Court to overturn their five-year imprisonment. The Dubai Court of First Instance jailed the Lebanese couple for five years for attacking the Saudi sponsor and stealing his Dh184,000 and valuable watch after keeping him tied in his villa. Records said the 38-year-old Lebanese husband, C.W., flew in from Beirut specially to carry out the heist after coordinating with his 40-year-old wife, S.S., who worked for the 75-year-old Saudi in his villa in Dubai. The Dubai Appeal Court rejected the Lebanese couple's appeal and upheld their primary judgement.
