Father and son jailed together in Dubai fraud case

' father has reportedly been thrown in the same prison as his son, after being reported to officials on suspicion of fraud.

In yet another twist in the businessman's own legal saga, Peter was brought to officials' attention by a third party, The Sun claims.

Last week it was reported that Lee, 42, was put behind bars once again just a month after his release from Dubai prison Al Awir, yet is 'bragging' he is set for release as he has raised the £120,000 fine he was faced with.

Katie had been communicating with Lee's father Peter when he first went missing in May, and it was he who first confirmed to Daily Mail that he had been arrested. 

It's thought that Lee's wife  has finally reached 'the end of her tether' with her husband, with pals urging her to finally 'leave him.'

A source said: 'Both Lee and his dad are now behind bars, in the same prison. Lee maintains his innocence, and is hoping to pay off his outstanding debts and get out of that hell hole as quickly as possible.

'He is trying to raise the collateral to get him out of the country, and return to the UK where he hopes to start his life afresh.'

'Whether poor Katie will be there to greet him on the other side remains to be seen. Right now she is furious with it all, and fed up with all the drama and white noise her husband is bringing. Friends are urging her to leave him.'

It's also been reported that Katie is locked in a row over her new pomsky dog, which she and Lee purchased in Dubai, after his ex Dina took the animal.

It comes after Lee was re-arrested in Dubai last week, just a month after he was released from the notorious Al Awir prison.

Lee is said to have gone in on Tuesday morning yet is 'bragging' he is set for release as he has raised the £120,000 fine he was faced with.

A source revealed that Lee had told a pal: 'They’ve arrested me. Katie might need to bail me out. We need to make a noise with a Go Fund Me.'

They added to The Sun: 'Lee had been stressed out in the days leading up to his arrest as he needed to raise money he believed he owed.'

Katie is currently in the UK after the release of her Sky documentary earlier this week and an appearance on This Morning where she continued to defend her marriage.

It hasn't been an easy few months for the couple, after he was released from Al Awir prison four weeks ago where he was detained due to fraud allegations, although he insists he was captured at gunpoint after being suspected of espionage.

In an Instagram post, Lee continued to insist there is 'not one shred of evidence' that he has been charged with fraud, hitting out at his ex fiancée Alana for spreading the story.

He claimed he was 'taken to the Qatar border by the men, at gunpoint and was captured by men with assault rifles' before adding: 'They did slap me round a little bit, little s***s.'

Lee has also been accused by multiple exes of conning them, most recently being accused of taking £5,000 from a 'vulnerable woman' in another alleged scam.

He has denied being involved in any cons.

Lee then set the internet alight when he seemingly disappeared into thin air, after Katie initially claimed he had been kidnapped. It then emerged Lee was being held at Dubai's notorious Al Awir prison.

The Daily Mail revealed in January that Lee took out a £200,000 mortgage in his ex Dina Taji's name without her knowledge.

She then took legal action against him, resulting in Lee being slapped with a travel ban from Dubai. Dina has refused to talk publicly about Lee, but agreed to meet up with Katie recently to warn her about staying with her husband.

Meanwhile, his ex Crystal Janke, 40, claimed Lee hoodwinked her into handing over £123,000 to invest in his company, on the promise he could get a 'return of £1million', with his ex-fiancée Alana Percival also issuing warnings on social media.

Lee has denied the allegations.
