A United Arab Emirates judge on Monday rejected the extradition to Denmark of Briton Sanjay Shah, the main suspect in a Danish dividend tax fraud case, a lawyer representing Shah told Reuters.

Danish authorities had requested the extradition of Shah, who was arrested in Dubai in June, for prosecution over his alleged involvement in a sham trading scheme to make double tax reclaims - known as "cum-ex" trading.

He is suspected of running a scheme that involved submitting applications to the Danish Treasury on behalf of investors and companies from around the world for dividend tax refunds worth more than 9 billion Danish crowns ($1.23 billion).

Reuters was not immediately able to reach Shah's spokesperson for a comment. He has previously denied any wrongdoing.

It was not immediately clear why the extradition was rejected.

The public prosecution could appeal that decision within 30 days, Shah's lawyer Ali Al Zarooni said. There was no immediate comment by UAE authorities or the Danish Justice Ministry on the court ruling.

'Either our water will flow or their blood': Bilawal Bhutto threatens India

IN AN escalation of tensions between India and Pakistan, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chief Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has issued a stark warning to India following its suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, declaring that "either our water or their blood will flow through it."

Speaking at a public rally, Bhutto-Zardari's inflammatory rhetoric signals Pakistan's fury over India's punitive actions taken in response to the recent Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives. His comments represent one of the most aggressive statements from a Pakistani leader since the incident occurred.
