Scots tycoon who led Rangers takeover bid jailed in Dubai over £1m fraud claim
Bakhsh, who owns a mansion near Glasgow, was lifted at Dubai's airport before he could board a flight back to the UK HELLHOLE PRISON Scots tycoon who led Rangers takeover bid jailed in Dubai over £1m fraud claim Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BUSINESSMAN who led a bid to buy Rangers was last night being held in a Dubai jail over an alleged £1million gold fraud. Shazad Bakhsh, 47, fronted a consortium from Singapore that was one of the contenders for the Ibrox club in 2012 after it went into administration. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 3 Dubai's Al-Awir central prison in the United Arab Emirates 3 In March 2012, it was reported Bakhsh was the frontman for a possible bid for the Ibrox club But he is now behind bars in a 'hellhole' nick amid claims a local was ripped off over a loan to buy precious metals from Zimbabwe. When the sum wasn't repaid, the alleged victim reported it to police in the United Arab Emirates. As a result Bakhsh, who owns a mansion near Glasgow, was lifted at Dubai's airport before he could board a flight back to the UK. It is understood his wife Sonia, 37, is back at their home while the family awaits news of his release. But last night a source close to the case said: 'Mr Bakhsh is in a spot of bother. It's not clear how or when he is going to get out of jail.' The tycoon is understood to have been placed under travel restrictions in Dubai earlier this year after another alleged fraud was reported. He has been detained in the emirate's notorious Central Prison since his arrest on June 3. It has been described by inmates as a 'hellhole'. Prisoners have their heads shaved on entry and are then caged in terrifying conditions. Meanwhile, authorities in the desert state are also understood to be assessing other potential alleged cases against Bakhsh. Sources say he faces more claims from businessmen in Cyprus, Hungary, Switzerland and Singapore that he duped them out of large sums of money. In March 2012, it was reported he was the frontman for a possible bid for Gers after the club went bust under Craig Whyte's ownership. New Rangers chiefs Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe's first interview The consortium he was linked to was said to include financial backing from the Far East. And they were believed to be preparing an offer 'within hours' to administrators Duff and Phelps. At the time, Bakhsh was said to head a firm that hired out Rolls-Royce cars, jets and luxury yachts. Weeks later we told how English businessman Charles Green bought Rangers for £5.5million. A year earlier Bakhsh and his wife had been pictured at a restaurant in Glasgow with Michael Winner, the legendary Death Wish filmmaker who died in 2013 at 77. Bakhsh has more than a dozen directorships listed at Companies House, many of them registered to an address in Glasgow city centre. Several other 'dissolved' firms are linked to a property in the city's Hillhead. Occupations listed for him include company director, IT trainer and operations director. Sources say Bakhsh has operated in various sectors, including gold, currency and whisky. He has also amassed a fleet of luxury cars including Ferraris and Porsches. Documents show he paid £1.2million in 2015 for his sprawling home at Newton Mearns, near Glasgow. In 2019 he was behind plans for a £60million retirement village nearby with his company Scotsbridge. Last night a spokesman for the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office said: 'We are supporting a British man who is detained in Dubai and are in contact with the local authorities.' The Criminal Investigation Department of Dubai police has been contacted for comment.
