Arif Patel, a convicted tax fraudster linked to a £33m case, is living in Dubai, raising questions about whether he remains within the reach of the justice system.
The case has prompted a response from the Prime Minister’s anti-corruption champion, who said Patel “should not be beyond the reach of the justice system”. The statement highlights concerns over the position of a convicted individual living overseas.
The available information identifies Dubai as Patel’s current location and describes him as having been convicted in connection with tax fraud involving £33m. It does not provide further details about the conviction, the sentence imposed or the legal steps being taken to secure his return.
The latest known position is that Patel remains in Dubai, while the anti-corruption champion has argued that his location should not place him outside the scope of justice.
