Talk:Sanjay Shah

Disambiguation
This article was previously at Sanjay Shah (businessman).

An article about an unrelated person from Kenya, who stayed in Nairobi Airport in 2004–2005 until he obtained British nationality, was originally at Sanjay Shah, then redirected to British Overseas citizen following Articles for deletion/Sanjay Shah, therefore this page was moved and a hatnote was added.

That heading and the content about Shah were later removed by Horserice.Overseas citizen&diff=next&oldid=884491033Overseas citizen&diff=884605818&oldid=884599896 I have therefore revised the hatnote to History of British nationality law which currently still mentions him. – Fayenatic  L ondon 16:18, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Re-created
I’ve re-created the page as the fraud accusations are both unusual and historic because of the size of the fraud. The size of the fraud is the largest in Danish history. According to the Danish media database, Infomedia, Shah has been mentioned more than 120 times in the Danish newspapers only, during the last month. The fraud-size of 9.1 billion DKK is 0.5 % of Denmark’s GDP. The accusations is therefore to be “considered noteworthy” in compliance with WP:PERPETRATOR.

It should not fall for WP:BLPCRIME as an actual trial in the court of law is highly unlikely and it’s likely that he will never be convicted due to the lack of extradition agreements between Denmark and UAE.

 * The United Arab Emirates has very few extradition treaties and none with European or North American countries (USA, too). That includes every single country that are investigating the case. He's essentially safe as long as he stays in the UAE. 62.107.192.250 (talk) 23:45, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Tagged the page per initial reasoning in the AfD discussion. Reiterating: WP:BLP1E, WP:NOTNEWS and now WP:G4. Making a couple edits now and will circle back. Would appreciate other editor feedback, besides SPA. Jppcap (talk) 22:11, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Cleaned up issues. Three sentences. Again, there's nothing to substantiate notability here. Page did not pass AfD and was recreated. Jppcap (talk) 22:24, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

FT alphaville
Text to remove: while his London home and offices were raided by the British National Crime Agency, and Varengold Bank (co-owned by Shah) was raided by German authorities.

Reason: The reference is FT Alphaville which is a blog and not news from a newspaper.

 * Information to be added or removed: On 12 August 2020, the Dubai Court dismissed the Danish government's claim that it had been defrauded by Sanjay Shah of £1.5 billion (Dh7.2 bn), due to lack of evidence.
 * Explanation of issue: This article highlights that the Danish government have so far (since 2015) been unable to prove any wrongdoing by Sanjay Shah, despite making allegations. I am conflicted as I am the subject of this page.
 * References supporting change: https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/courts/dubai-court-dismisses-dh7-2bn-tax-fraud-claims-against-sanjay-shah-1.1065042

Request to add content from 12 May 2021
Good morning, can this article be referenced (https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/judge-condemns-denmark-s-pursuit-of-dubai-tycoon-sanjay-shah-over-alleged-1-5bn-tax-fraud-1.1221638) to say that in April 2021 the UK Commercial High Court dismissed Denmark's claim against Sanjay Shah and the judge critised Denmark's actions. "It was litigation that was politically as well as financially motivated," he said. "The litigation was the subject of ill-judged public statements by senior Danish politicians appearing to pre-judge the factual issues that would have fallen to be determined by the court". Please note that I am the subject of this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.204.253.122 (talk) 09:50, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
