Further more, regarding the corruption:
In this country (as in any other) corruption is not something new and have been dealt with since many years in a silent civil manner - no yellow/white press!! Once in a while people will be released from their posts, their buildings sized or their businesses change owners. In UAE is very unusual to investigate in such noisy manner with such huge international press coverage. Bear in mind the so famous censorship......
Now it's done for a reason, which is that some one wants to prove to the rest of the world that the law here is the same for every one and actions will be taken immediately in case of any (financial) wrongdoing.
Why we want to prove that? Because we need more people to come and buy our real estate, open more companies in the Free Zones, do business, invest in the DFM and fly with the Emirates
from Terminal 3
This people could come from China, Russia, India etc, and they should feel safe and secure to invest and live here.
