Until now only cases 357+ (plus a few older ones) had their linked URLs fetched; the other 252 dossiers held just the text pasted into the spreadsheet, often only the lede. This pass fetches every linked URL for those cases so the full text is on file before link rot takes it. - stage_all.py: new --include-sheet-cases flag that lifts the skip on cases holding spreadsheet articles. Resumable as before. - staging/: raw extracts and index.json for the 252 cases. - sourced-articles.json, case-files-manifest.json: 188 new UNTRIMMED blocks. 179 cases gained at least one fetched article; 73 got none (49 BLOCKED, 18 THIN, 9 DEAD, 4 video/social, 3 ERROR). - sources/*.txt: rebuilt with build_cases.py --all. Sheet pastes are kept; fetched blocks sit beside them under the NOT YET TRIMMED banner. Files previously committed with CRLF are now LF. - wayback-availability.json: Wayback snapshots exist for 73 of the 98 failed URL slots; input for an archive-fetch pass. - README-START-HERE.md: progress note and next step. verify_all.py PASSES (1836 checks).

Dubai: A group of four Dubai-based expatriates has been accused of attempted robbery of Dh500,000 from an investor in a fraudulent bitcoin transaction.
|
||
According to the Dubai Court of First Instance, the four Ukrainian defendants aged between 28 and 34 years, broke into an office in the Al Barsha area of Dubai and tried to steal the cryptocurrency after attacking the investor and two of his friends.
|
||
A 33-year-old Egyptian witness, who was told by the investor and another person to join them in buying the cryptocurrency, said that he went to the office carrying Dh500,000 in cash in a bag. “A man told us to wait until the arrival of the bitcoin seller. As they were getting late, the victim told the man that they would leave, when the door opened and the four Ukrainian suspects came in, attacked the victim and tried to steal the money,” said the Egyptian witness.
|
||
The four defendants physically assaulted the victims and sprayed a deodorant directly on to the victims’ faces.
|
||
“As the victim raised an alarm, screaming ‘thieves ... thieves’ the attackers couldn’t steal the money and they escaped from the spot,” added the Egyptian witness.
|
||
Dubai Police have arrested all the four defendants who were charged with attempted robbery.

European gang attempts to rob Dhs500,000 from three Arabs
|
||
The Dubai Public Prosecution arrested and referred a four-member European gang of to the criminal court for attempting to rob three Arabs of Dhs500,000 during a bitcoin exchange deal in Dubai.
|
||
|
||
The incident dates back to August 2019.
|
||
|
||
One of the victims filed a report against the four defendants, claiming that they attempted to rob his money during his visit to an office, which was trading in bitcoin.
|
||
|
||
The victim testified that he was in the company of two of his friends, with a bag of Dhs500,000, to buy bitcoin with a value less than the market.
|
||
|
||
The victims were asked to wait for the office to open. The Arabs were suddenly interrupted by the Europeans.
|
||
|
||
The four of them assaulted the victims and tried to take away the bag of money, but luckily, the victims were screaming loudly and one of them had used his body deodorant to spray on the robbers’ faces.
|
||
|
||
The defendants got scared and left the scene before being able to rob the Arabs of Dhs500,000. Police identified the defendants and successfully apprehended each one of them.
|
||
|
||
The defendants confessed to being engaged in a fight with the victims, but with no intention of stealing their money.
