Dubai regulator: Abraaj probe is targeting senior staff

Dubai Financial Services Authority was criticised last year for its muted response to the emerging market investor’s collapse

Dubai’s financial services regulator said its investigation into Abraaj Group is focusing on staff members who failed to sound the alarm about problems at the private equity firm before its collapse.

“We are focusing our attention on senior management responsible and persons who may have failed in their responsibility to identify or report irregularities,” the Dubai Financial Services Authority said in its annual report on Tuesday. “We will use all of our powers to deal with those who are found to be culpable.”
