Meanwhile, lawyer Dina Adly who is Shafiq’s legal representative, released on Sunday a statement on her Facebook page in which she asserted that she has no information on Shafiq’s current location. “After Shafiq’s declaration of his intent to run for the 2018 presidential elections, he said that he will leave for France. UAE officials informed him that a private airplane will transport him to France, but he preferred to book a flight leaving to France on Saturday at dawn. His daughters were shocked as numerous officials informed Shafiq that he is considered persona non grata in UAE,” Adly noted. She explained that these “officials” informed him that he must leave the UAE without his daughters while they told his daughters that they are welcome to stay in the UAE.
