A distraught Houston family said their patriarch has been wrongfully imprisoned in Dubai for the past 15 years with no hope of getting out in sight.
Making matters worse, they say time is of the essence because his deplorable living conditions have him almost on his deathbed.Born in Lebanon, Zack Shahin is considered by his family to be a hardworking man who came from humble beginnings and built a life here in Houston as a sales rep for Pepsi. He was transferred to Dubai to help with operations there.
From there, Zack switched paths and joined a real estate company in the United Arab Emirates in 2004.“It wasn’t just an overnight thing. He climbed the latter it took him years,” Ramy said. “He tells me at 11 a.m., ‘Hey, my meetings at noon. I’ll be back by 2 p.m. we’ll all go get lunch. I was like, ‘sounds good,’” Ramy said.“That night is when he showed up at our doorstep in handcuffs shackled with six or seven cops in disguise with him and a bag on his head,” Ramy said.
“PWC, Deloitte, KPMG, and Ernst and Young. Nobody found any errors, no write-offs and nothing in the books,” Ramy said.
