Canada: Saudi accused of sexual assault disappears before trial

Canadian authorities are searching for a Saudi citizen accused of sexual assault after he failed to show up for a court hearing in the Canadian city of Sydney, Nova Scotia, the local Chronicle Herald newspaper said.

Mohammed Zuraibi al-Zoabi, a student at Cape Breton University, faces charges of sexual assault, assault, forcible confinement, uttering threats, criminal harassment, dangerous driving and assault with a weapon (a vehicle) in separate trials related to two incidents that occurred in Sydney between 2016 and 2017.

Local police told the Chronicle Herald that al-Zoabi's passport was given as collateral when the 28-year-old student posted his $37,500 bail in cash, a hefty sum provided by the Saudi Arabian embassy.

"It should be impossible (for him to leave the country or enter without a passport) unless Saudi Arabia furnished him with a Saudi travel document," Lee Cohen, a Halifax-based immigration lawyer, told the Chronicle Herald.

Besides, everyone knows, that no one can get a fair trial in a Communist country like Canada.

Right?

Besides, those Commies in Canada have just given so-called "asylum" to a known terrorist based on her bogus claim of being afraid for her life and everyone knows that the Saudis have NEVER killed anyone.

Right?

If the money for the bail and travel documents to get him out of dodge were provided by the embassy, this kids dad was probably seriously connected.

Sounds like a rich kid out of control to boot.

I thought all those Saudi students were called home after Canada pissed off the royal family last year?

Idiots.

In America, his bail would've either been denied on flight threat grounds or he would've gotten it BUT had his passport seized and an ankle bracelet hooked onto him. Canadians are way too trusting.

Seize his passport! Brilliant! He'd never get back into Saudi Arabia without his passport! Why didn't we think of that?
Uh, wait a minute...

Perhaps that wouldn't matter anyway. Seems Oregon has a very similar problem.

A Saudi student killed a girl in a hit-and-run but he seems to have gotten back home.

Saudis 'helped citizen in Oregon hit-and-run case flee US'

If you are NOT "connected" you don't get out of Saudi Arabia much.

Of course, being "connected" can come in handy for things like getting out of Saudi Arabia

Houston police chief writes 140 mph speeding ticket to driver of Dodge Viper


On Twitter, Acevedo noted that he could have arrested the driver but opted to give the driver a ticket instead, citing the "totality of the circumstances, including flow of traffic, etc."

Would anyone like to bet that the (young man?) who was driving the Viper was NOT "from a prominent Houston family" and that a part of the "totality of the circumstances" was NOT "(His?) Daddy will be seriously ticked off if I throw they idiot in jail."?

Idiots eh????????????????
His passport was revoked and turned into the Court
Really. Happens all the time with Saudi
HTF did he, link below, after cutting that all important ankle bracelet exit the US without a passport?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...thinks-saudi-arabia-helped-him/?noredirect=on

The GPS device worn by a 21-year-old student awaiting a trial on a manslaughter charge had been cut near a sand and gravel facility in town.

The student, Abdulrahman Sameer Noorah, a Saudi Arabian national living in the United States on a government scholarship, had asked the sheriff’s deputy who was monitoring him on supervised house arrest if he could go to the community college he was attending to study for upcoming exams. She had said yes.

About a year later, the Saudi government confirmed what Overstreet had feared, that Noorah had made it out of the United States and back to Saudi Arabia, despite having no passport, Overstreet said. Overstreet has developed a working theory: Noorah escaped with the help of the Saudi government.
