Metro man accused of scams from here to Qatar

Businessman flees U.S., leaving former partners, feds to recover funds

A former Canton Township businessman, whose failed business deals led to federal charges against him and legal malpractice accusations against Turkia Mullin, is now accused of far larger frauds a world away.

Abdulla al-Jufairi, 47, left the United States before he was charged in a Small Business Association loan scandal that cost taxpayers some $26 million. Now, he's accused of triggering more than $100 million in losses on failed business deals in Qatar, former associates say.

"His schemes have grown to a grand scale," said Donald A. Jordan, an attorney who left Metro Detroit in 2004 to work with al-Jufairi in Qatar. Jordan has distanced himself from al-Jufairi and recently moved back to Novi.
