Karabus considers suing UAE govt─── 11:30 Mon, 20 May 2013
Cape Town - Retired Cape Town doctor Cyril Karabus is considering taking legal action against Emirates Airlines, the Hospital Group and the Abu Dhabi government.
The 78 year-old returned home on Friday following a nine month ordeal in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The professor was held in Abu Dhabi on a manslaughter charge and even though he was eventually acquitted, his return home was subject to several delays.
His lawyer Michael Bagraim said Karabus wants to sue Emirates Airlines because it did not inform him of his imminent arrest last August. Bagraim said they were also looking at taking the Hospital Group to court as it did not let Karabus know about his guilty verdict in the UAE in 2002.
He paid more than R1 million in legal fees.
