Sami Al-Hashemi, the former Chief Executive Officer of the real estate developer Mizin, was questioned by the public prosecution office over irregularities in selling lands, Dubai's Attorney General Isam Isa Al Humaidan confirmed on Wednesday.

Al-Hashemi is facing corruption charges and is being held in police custody pending investigations, UAE's state news agency WAM reported.
