ALBAWABA - News of the arrest of Iraqi poet and business manager Faeq Hassan, husband of Syrian singer Assala Nasri, at Dubai Airport recently sparked widespread controversy on social media after his name was linked to a mysterious fraud case involving a well-known Arab television presenter.
The rumor started from widely circulated news reports online and websites claiming that Dubai police arrested a prominent businessman married to a well-known artist.
The arrest followed a formal complaint filed by an Arab television presenter accusing the businessman of embezzling $50,000 after convincing her to invest it in the gold trade and reap substantial profits.
These reports led social media users to speculate that the man in question was the husband of the artist Assala, and rumors quickly spread that he had been detained at Dubai Airport and that Assala had allegedly paid the money to resolve the issue and free her husband.
Was Assala's husband, Faeq Hassan, detained at Dubai Airport?
In his first response to the news, Faeq Hassan broke his silence, denying all the allegations and asserting that the inclusion of his name in the case was completely unfounded.
A source close to the family of Syrian artist Assala Nasri has put an end to the speculation surrounding the whereabouts of the Iraqi poet, confirming that he is currently in the United Arab Emirates and living his life normally without any legal obstacles.
