- Trapped (2014): An innocent Australian property executive's real-life Kafkan nightmare dealing with Dubai's notorious justice system. Subscribe to Journeyman for more: / journeymanpictures
Thrown behind bars for an unknown crime, Marcus Lee saw the dark side of Dubai's booming property development industry when the economic crash shattered the dream. An exhausting battle for justice ensued.
When the outrageous glitter and stunning promise of Dubai beckoned, Australian couple Marcus & Julie Lee packed their bags and set off for the booming Middle Eastern city to chase their dreams. So how did Marcus Lee end up in filthy Dubai jails for nine months, unaware of what he’d done wrong? And why, when authorities finally charged him in connection with an alleged multi-million dollar property fraud, did it take close to five years to navigate the legal system, ultimately clear his name and return home?

Never live in a place where the leader has a huge picture on the side of buildings and billboards. Arrogance.
Probably the best piece of advice people can get.
Like all the lawyers on billboards around me?
Lots of Arab countries have the leader's picture on buildings. That is normal.

Happened to a friend of mine, jailed in Dubai for bouncing a check, he couldn't run his business so more debts mounted and more charges where raised.. they took everything from him, from rich to prison to broke in 12 months.... Never forget how happy I was when he sent me a photo of him on a plane to Thailand with the words.. 'im out love you all'
Should have been more careful.. many people in Dubai just don't think.

It’s good for tourism. And stay in Dubai. If you decide to live there, don’t try to be coy, it is not the west. They don’t take shit.
I've heard so many horror stories regarding visitors to Dubai. I would NEVER travel to that God forsaken place!
And many horror stories are those very idiotic visitors who don't know how to behave..
Its a DEMONIC PLACE for sure. and People who are OK with that Have no problem singing its praises.

Wow. Kudos to ABC or whoever the journalists were who kept going back every year and not airing this story 'til it was done. Also glad that Marcus didn't die in jail, and that his marriage also made it through. A long, slow torture.
His story has been heard because he is from a first world country. There are many foreign workers from 3rd world countries who have been executed without trial in UAE, many women house maids get gang raped by their employers, beaten, passport taken, its daunting to even hear their stories. However, these stories do not get the highlight that is needed.

I'm glad Marcus and his wife are safely home. Fortunate for Marcus, Julie is one heck of a woman. He's very lucky to have such a wonderful woman like that in his life, hats off to her!
What a strong man Marcus is he really inspires me. You can tell if you listen closely to his voice though how stressed out he is about this. But he maintains his dignity.
I agree, Julie would not have held up the way she did if she hadn't the feeling of the security of a stable and strong man to bravely comfort her when she went to bed at night!!! :)
As a woman, Dbai was always a NO GO EVER IN MY LIFE ZONE.
Dubai is actually a place of hypocrisy. Prostitution is rampant but they hide it, some companies hold some immigrants passports so they would be afraid to leave because they charge so much money to get the passports back. They make their own rules, they treat women so bad and no respect for them. If you're a tourist there always bring all your documents wherever you go because they can make up a story and arrest you against your will.
Save your contact numbers of your friends at home in case of emergencies.
Smart lady 💝

My guy friend (not my boyfriend) and I went to Dubai and paid for separate hotel rooms. The front desk agent kept saying, “it’s ok if you only want one room.” We said NO. We will keep two rooms. I simply wasn’t taking that chance.

People don't realize that different cultures can be incredibly different from their own. And they can be very naive. SCARY.

I 100 % agree with you Dubai will NEVER get a dime from me. DEMONIC Place Controlled by the Devil Demons.
What ever money we receive from our own Country , be satisfied with what we get. Money is the beginning of evil .
They hired people to become their slaves to do their work and pay them in peanuts, what the heck, people should watch this program and never chase money but their lives are so important. ❤
After what that couple has been through together they have a bond that cannot ever be broken! God bless you and your family!

My husband and I traveled to Dubai on business in June 2021. Very oppressive feeling as soon as we landed at the airport. Money and power mean nothing and everything. Foreign workers live in such fear. Not a great visit.
What foreign workers. Even many locals get treated badly. Even some female royal family members. They tried to escape.
So why did you go in the first place? All this has been known for ages!

I was surprised to see ads for Dubai tourism when I was in London. It's not exactly a go-to destination for Americans.
For anyone it appears
London is now an M City .. Pakistani Mayor who his followers have voted him in for third time ..
Or anyone with sense
Well, THIS just made my decision of whether to go visit Dubai as a tourist MUCH easier!!! NOT EVER GONNA HAPPEN!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬
What a bloody mess and I can understand what Marcus and Julie went through. They were innocent people and were hopelessly let down by the Dubai Authorities, Australian government and the guilty parties of Matt Joyce and Angus Reid. I left Dubai one day in April 2013 when I could not suffer a day more with all the hypocrisy and bullshit that goes on in the UAE. I will never return to the Middle East as I wanted to enjoy the rest of my life in a free democratic country where the rule of law is fair to all parties concerned. The UAE is an Islamic dictatorship where corruption and hypocrisy are endemic. Do not think of even transiting through thus God forsaken land.
"I wanted to enjoy the rest of my life in a free democratic country where the rule of law is fair to all parties concerned." - tell me where in the world is a country where this applies? which country?

Don’t be fooled. They probably defraud the people in Dubai. Now they are sweetening their case to try and sue and get some compensation. Believe me. How did the lady when asked if “any money was paid” and she said she didn’t know. Of course you fucking know, it’s yes or no.
@16:49 look at how the husband looks over nervous when they ask his wife if any money was paid. How the fuck does she not know if any money was paid? Fucking lying ass lady. Something is not right in this case and they probably did defraud
@16:46

Very very true
I happen to love Dubai
That's who the government IS though 🤯

I get your point but not possible,it's like having a crazy friend who has the means to solve your problems.
I would never go to that city using slave labor no way
Most of the Western world was built on slave labour
What would u use, an automatic?
This can all be put down to one word - GREED!
But Harvey we are all greedy in one way or another., people in glass houses and all that...
Moral of the story. Never trust Matt Joyce
Harvey Hudson and the Messenger who came to these lands told them before his death that the only thing he feared for them after his departure was that they would compete in worldly pursuits. It will come crumbling down.
Greed and power
There is certain countries I will never step foot in

Unless your plane has problems and has to divert there as an alternative. If you're wearing the wrong attire or carrying prescribed drugs, there's always a chance you can be thrown in jail.
Nobody should travel to Australia if you're not white as you are likely to be degraded and humiliated by the descendants of hardcore criminals.
Yup...and they all Islamic!!!
You should go there nigga
I will never ever visit Dubai, ever! Dubai wants to be part of a cosmopolitan world, but they are in the dark ages politically, judicially. They treat their immigrant workers beyond horrible, cruel living in filthy conditions and not paying them. I would be afraid of being denied basic human rights if i went there to vacation.

I come from the generation that watched the movie "Midnight Express" that told the real life story of a man that was sentenced to a Turkish for trying to smuggle hash. And it was so horrific that 40 years later I still deep dive any country I am traveling to. Including the stop over countries too. And especially anytime I have to go through a customs process. I also check my suitcase before I pack that there are no prohibited items in it. And I check that I have my prescriptions in their legitimate containers. I know that the story is different than this one specifically because I was on holiday, and they were working there. But my point is because I saw that movie I was aware by age 20 that while traveling to other countries you must be extra super careful. Because their laws and justice system could be corrupt. And if you don't know how to play their game you can get locked up and forgotten about in an instant. I'm so happy for this couple who finally got back to Australia. 💕
I remember that movie as a cautionary tale too!
After living in Abu Dhabi and Dubai for a year I would never go back. It’s superficial and has a very dark side. Lots of human trafficking and superficial. Cool to visit for a couple days but gets old very fast
Having been there... i can attest to the luxurious front of the place, but when I learned of the modern day slavery that goes on under covers....my whole trip was spoilt. I felt so disgusted I just wanted to get out.

Worked there (in Dubai) a few years, then got back to Europe. Few years later got another opportunity to work there so I joined the team ... soon I realized I was in first line to go to jail if mistakes were made, bought my self a plane ticket and flew the same day and quit ( Worked for the company just 3 days :) )
how did you find out? did they tell you or what happened?
I don't know you but I can tell you that is one of the better decisions you have made. If they don't like you for whatever reasons they could slip some shit in your luggage at the airport and the next thing you know you are one head less in height. Over my fucking dead body will I go to places like Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Philippines, Turkey or any Islam governed place. Fuck that.

My brother in law worked there (as a business man)for a year. He is of middle eastern decent and speaks perfect Arabic however looking at him one might think he’s some kind of Caucasian. He tells me that in every office,in restaurants,every where he went he’d over hear the natives talking shit about him (assuming he was white)and of other Americans,etc. Even his coworkers in the first week right in front of him having no idea he could understand every word! He’s Lebanese . Anyway when he accepted the job he was full of hope & enthusiasm of a new adventure but a year later he left there disgusted and abhorred by that countries true nature and views of their tourists. If the world only knew their true view of their own tourists they would never go!

THEY WOULD LOVE TO PAY AN AMERICAN/OR BRITISH CIVIL/PETROLEUM ENGINEERS $70K-$100000K A YEAR PLUS BENEFITS AND WOULD NOT EVEN PAY HALF TO INDIANS, PAKISTANIS, EGYPTIANS AND TURKISH. Matter of fact, many british pilots working with UAE airlines make 150k to 300k a year depends on the experience. I'm not hundred percent sure about egyptians and Turkishs but Pakistanis and Indians engineers study six years(after high school school) same syllabus published by Addison Wesley, Mcgraw hill, Osborn, MIT and Oxford, (some of our universities are over 100 years old) and would not get the same salary in dubai as americans/british do so who is racist all of you white, latin ass junkies or Arabs.

The constitution of most countries is precious, whether it is implemented equally and fairly "there's the rub". Despite the constitution there's brutal discrimination against races, religions, class and status. The constitution is supposed to be for all people regardless of their race, color, creed or class.
Yet even our constitution isn’t protecting some Americans rights.

I worked with a wise older Aussie who had to fly to Dubai to assist with a work prohect. One of the cheques he gave to pay a bill for bounced only by a balance of $3.00 due to a Dubian citizen Accountant not transfering an overdue payment to the business account of a huge and substantial amount of money - the Dubian government arrested this nice older man from Australia and the Dubian citizen who caused the mess got no repercussions. My Aussie friend spent just under a year in jail and by the end of it all - paid three sets of $35k bribes before they were freed.
It was the bank that received the cheque who called the police and all they had to do was just wait 4 more days for the balance to clear and for the cheque to be reissued. What this Aussie man was trying to pay for wasn't overdue and he just wanted to pay it earlier and had been advised by the Dubian accountant that the overdue transfer was all completed.
He says he will never ever forget how bad the jail was and also his mum helped pay for the bribes and release. Not even the particular company assisted.
But was this australian man arrested ?
If I were Marcus I'd be suing that smug Sunland guy for making false statements that led to being imprisoned.
He won't win it or get anywhere..plus it will cost money.... different system there
I hate flying through it. Never left the airport and even that is an ordeal.
This is why I wouldn't ever set foot in that country or any Middle Eastern country.
I will never fly Emirates nor visit Dubai again ever.
I have been saying to all my family and friends NOT to fly Emirates for years now. They all look at me as though I am mad!!! Little do they know that a big chunk of their profits goes straight to the terrorists.
Say that when you can afford to fly it may be 🤣
Last week my friend was like hey ya wanna go to Dubai with our kids . She goes ya know it's in India. lol I said um no try again and showed her. I may have to show her the laws and such that westerners are clueless of, bc I wouldn't set foot there with my kid. I'd much rather her have named a real place in India.
@@soul_luv3710 Your friend is thick.
Steve Bailey lmfvo. Not usually ..just a little sheltered and possibly ill informed. Lol
Nothing and no amount of money is worth your freedom.
👍
Define freedom.
I'm not discounting what you wrote, but how many people think ALL homeless and broke people are just "too lazy" or subhuman? It's hypocritical to say that X is "too high a price" while glorifying celebrities and rich people.
How shocking these things happen. I'd run for the hills never to step foot in the UAE . It may look amazing but the underlying truth of the state is disgraceful. Even their royal family are corrupt and treat their women with disrespect. From Liverpool, England 🇬🇧
The Windsor men are no different.
Jail you for months or years and never tell you why? Crazy place I would never want to see
That's true.
True...but this happens everywhere in the world. There are innocent people who have been wrongly sentenced to life in prison or even given a death penalty in America, Europe......EVERYWHERE.
Powerful information that can save your life.
I used to work in the corporate environment and the idea of going to Dubai crossed my mind as there may be opportunities at a certain point in time. But my guts told me that it was not a safe place to be for a woman...specially for some one like me who I just like to think myself as one of the guys. Too sure of myself, too opinionated, too empowered, too outspoken. I don't think I would last minute. A society were men, specially powerful men were women do not share the same freedoms as men....no no no. I would never go to Dubai not even in holidays, and I have always known that. I like documentaries and whenever I have seen one about Dubai, if read between the lines...there are hidden things. Too good to be true....When the king builds things to show off their greatness...Power obviously is to be feared in places like that.
Idk, been living here for years and the woman aren't really getting any shit treatment... Quiet the opposite
@@Th3K37 It depends on where the woman is from... I'm from a small Southeast Asian country, which is very similar to Dubai, and I was treated as if I'm from a 3rd world country; I worked for a big international O&G company then and I speak very fluent English and yet the treatment I received (and mind you, no respect) received from the Emiratis and other Arabs were that I was a maid. Same treatment too from Arab kids...no respect at all.
Don't talk shit.. many powerful and opinionated women exist in the UAE, I've seen with my own eyes.. And I've seen women put crazy men in their place..
Rosie.. it depends.. I've heard of Gulf locals getting harsh treatment.. look what happened to that Jamal Khashoggi guy.. horrible.
I hope Marcus and Julie can get the support back home and re build their lives , it is horrible what they have gone through ❤
this should definitely go on the series locked up abroad
I hear their dog didn't make it out of Dubai quarantine and got a 20 year stretch. What an all round nest of vipers.
jekylle omg!😱 please don’t tell me that!! That makes my heart hurt 😔
jekylle noooo really?
@@juliewagner8240 Dubai does not quarantine outgoing animals. My 2dogs came with me from Seattle and were not quarantined at all. There are strict vaccinations requirements of course.
A first world economy with a medieval mindset...
first world economy? just wait until everybody will drive an electric car!
Its just oil money and no rule of law, can't be compared to most of the west.
Yep.Caveman mentality !!!!! Its a no for me
Basically, all the Islamic countries.
It's not perfect but at least you can leave your doors unlocked at night and not be worried about being burgled and you can be out at anytime even into the depths of the night and not have to look behind your back constantly and be worried about crime. Where I live in the UK you have to double lock your doors at night and even then there is a risk of being burgled. You can't go out anywhere at night without constantly looking behind you every few minutes. The city centres are no go zones after midnight. There are hardly any Police around due to the cuts. It's a criminals paradise In the western countries.
Moral of the story: DON'T GO THERE!
*Let me just scratch Dubai from my "To Visit" list. Done. LMAO*
Agreed, avoid countries with shariah law. Look up the law of any non Western foreign country!
I said and did the same thing. I respect keeping tight reigns but this would have me paranoid. No thanks..
@@whattafuareyou b*tch be quiet
Come scratch my ass you can’t even afford to come to Dubai just a bunch of window shoppers
Going there in a few weeks on way back from Europe to visit Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab, etc.. TOURIST ONLY.
I totally agree Al Ian. And I'm a black man. Quite sure I would be arrested for requesting pork barbecue ribs and fried chicken. lol
Michael Thompson and never say popeyes .
Also choose a right boss
😊😊
*I am never visiting Dubai*
Very good, you safe your life
Me too
It's difficult to believe how impotent Australia is to help its citizens who are in legal trouble abroad. I thought that its abandonment of Julian Assange was simply due to the controversial nature of his case and because he could perhaps be seen as a "trouble maker". But none of that is apparent in this case. In fact, it looks like a new PM finally did gain their release, so the political power was always there. It was the political will of the Australian government that was missing. My only advice to my friends Down Under is not to count on your government if you get into legal trouble abroad. Its apparently occupied with more important things. ... jkulik919@gmail.com
Australia need china and dubai
Ignorant
Remember people.
"All that shines is not always gold"
Absolutely!
That place has the biggest dg lords from the West living there Kinnans are one from Dublin and many more...all shifted from Marbella Spain
All that glitters is not gold!
I feel so bad for Marcus and Julie who got cought up in the other people dishonest ways but they show they are honest and strong couple. They stand together in such terrible hard situation and life will bring something very good to amazing people. God bless you
I wouldn't do business there no matter how lucrative it may appear.
Do Business in Israel which has excellent laws and judicial system.Above all the Israelis and the Jews are very good people to do business with.
If it was such a great place to deal at why didn’t more people make lots of money? Only the royals make any money.
STOP VIRTUE SIGNALLING YOUD CUT YOUR ARMS OFF TO GET BUSINESS THERE

@@DJalecC hi how's Friday good a gay name? Just curious
Honorable journalists. Thank you.
Dubai is a savage country i escaped dubai by changing my flight two times making it seem like i was going for a visa change in Bahrain from Bahrain to my country..took advantage of the over night immigration officers who were too tired and weren't keen on details. Looking back i swear its was so surreal.
This smells of bullshit...
@@ssdravidian well believe what you need to, am in my country despite the many cases i left behind.
Good for you, dude. I heard a news about an arab teen girl change took her flight on midnight &seek asylum in Australia, but they decline it, instead Canada help her out & became a citizen after she step her foot in Canadian land.
@@mathersdavisit's been 5 years I hope you're doing ok you deserve it ❤
Marcus Lee and his wife should sue Matt Joyce and the Sunland Group for what they put him through. It's unbelievable that Matt Joyce is able to get away with ruining someone's livelihood and not a single trace of guilt for the innocent. The rich get rich through a lack of conscience.
or through good business sense you fucking dummy
@@alstonlinski6592 Once you start using insulting language, you have already lost the argument.
Yes, it is something else to think about, ,,,,you have to spend the rest of your life fighting back the urge to kill the s.o.b.'s responsible. Too bad he didn't know while they were having to share a bed. The guilty b@$+@£d, might have woke up dead. I hope this couple and theirs find peace ,through forgiveness, God is surely sorting it out. Every body has to pay. ..for everything. Everything except what Jesus paid for us. There's not enough gold,oil, or soil to pay for that. Thank you Jesus for buying my ticket to heaven. I accept it with all of my heart. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Lord forgive my weak flesh for thinking about wanting to chock the living out of the guilty, I know you have it. GOD BLESS, THIS FAMILY. I pray for all of the suffering in the world, we can always find someone who has it worse than ourselves. Amen.
Billy Rowland It would serve you to keep your Christian fairytale crap out of our faces! Not everyone believes your Jesus save me BS!
The question is why didn’t they? Perhaps they wanted to put everything behind them. It could have been worse.
I was born in Dubai, never going back again.
why
The unfortunate lesson you learned: never work and live in a lawless middle eastern country !!! I wouldn't even go for a holiday !
21st Century city with a 15th Century legal system.
True.
That's what happens when you marry your cousin and eat feces.
With a low crime rate ...
@@mohameda1165 well when slavery is legal in your country its hard to have a high crime rate.
😅😅😅😅😅😅Absolutely right
Without his wife he may not have made it
Their lawyer was a saint--all for free, no doubt at great expense to keep flying back and forth.
Luckily the lawyer wasnt sent to jail.
_big salute to there lawyer.._
@@robertoingal2675 hopefully they can sue Sunland. Those two that were defrauding should look over there shoulder. Seems they all tried to pin it on Marcus.💀
Yeah right. For free. Hahaha. Because all defence lawyers tell the truth
There are such good people out there ❤
The best part about this is the ex foreign minister admitting to being corrupt and only having a change of heart after he left office. Corrupt Australian government strikes again
It struck even harder during the staged events
When will these silly people ever learn never to step foot inside Dubai?
and other islamic countries!
@Matt Blake: Yeah.....so the couple is Australian. It's an island in the Pacific, America is on the North American continent. Two totally different places.
I lived in Dubai as a kid, for 4 years. It’s a part of my childhood I’ll never forget, I have such great memories. But seeing this... discovering what’s going on behind the scenes... it just breaks my heart.
I lived there for a year and what happened with me, I cannot explain.
Arslan Khan oh noo...
@@arslankhan5878 Can you share your experience if feel comfortable?
You lived there for a few years and you still did not know back then?
The same happens everywhere, it is only a matter of looking behind the curtain
Buh bye Dubai. Thanks for broadcasting this. Now I know not to go there. EVER.
enough said!
+Josh Popichak no one needs you here .. stay away
Dubai will collapse soon enough they are in so much dept they can never get out of, it is not a place for anyone who lives a normal life style.
The USA incarcerates more people than the rest of the world. And do you know how many of those people are losing their jobs right now because they can't bond out awaiting trial? Just so all said and done they are found innocent. But innocence comes with a cost in lawyer debt. And with no job to pay for it the bills back up to the tune of not making rent...yeah you might wanna stay away from the US. In no way do I dismiss this programs content or real people that suffer. I just wanted to share.
Alaska James most in the us who are in prison who awaiting for trial is depending on the crime.
The darker side of Dubai that not many people are aware of.
There are so many beautiful travel destinations in this world, where you are not subject to sharia laws. Don't understand people do this willingly and even pay for it. It's not even a beautiful place, looks rather ugly
Dubai might have some nice hotels but awful laws
@@forza223bowe5 then don't go , no one is making these people go there, they went of their own free will.
Do research bro...sharia is swahili word for law...
@@S400-i6c oh okay, if you don't go there it that makes Dubai a better place.
@@reiramessi I am not even sure Dubai's Justice system is based on Sharia. It looks to me like it is just piss poor. Full stop.
I was in the UAE for years. My late father was working there. From 1985 till 1997. Different times. The beginning of the boom. People who are still there tell me that I wouldn't recognize the place. Anyway, my dad loved the place and the locals but he was telling me very clearly that under no circumstances you should get arrested there. Not even to pass through the police department doors. They were ruthless. You were gone. Once, a friend of his was arrested in the street for something trivial really and I remember how frantically they were phoning local connections BEFORE he reached the police department. You didn't want to mess with the police. On the other hand why one clever Australian should make 14 million in someone else's "home" by doing nothing. That angered them I'm sure and wanted to make an example. Unfortunately the innocent pay the prize most of he times...
tacman1974 it's no different than Mexican prisons.🔥
Innocent? They are infidels. They do not believe in Islam. According to the koran, they must be killed.
God bless your father mate...he must have some amazing stories during that time!
tacman1974 There was a recent incident of a London Woman, who was drinking on the flight to Dubai, and was arrested
She's lucky if that is all that happened. There are multiple stories on the internet (if they haven't all been scoured) by women who had been gang-raped on the flight into Dubai. One of them was a British journalist.
All that glitters is not gold!
Tsnore ha....great advice..."golden"!!!🤗
Tsnore Too true
@locked up in Dubai I wouldn't go even if all expenses covered,my idea of hell!
Tsnore you are right and ppl need to know that
Well said, I have always felt this about Dubai though I have never stayed in the country, it’s a trap for consumers and the greedy.
38:00 In prison, because you wore a pink breast cancer awareness t-shirt, while you were just transiting through Dubai Airport.
Wow! Wow, wow, wow!
I never wanted to go to that misogynistic place in the first place, but now I won't even go if they'd give me a million.
