Katie Price has traveled to Dubai to confront her husband, Lee Andrews, who was recently released from prison. Price, 48, who underwent corrective lip surgery last week, arrived at Gatwick Airport on Tuesday before her flight. She expressed her intention to question Andrews, 43, about unresolved matters following his nearly month-long incarceration.
Andrews was released from Al-Awir prison two weeks ago. His detention stemmed from fraud allegations, though he has maintained he was apprehended at gunpoint and suspected of espionage. Price, who recorded her journey for her YouTube channel, appeared with swollen lips due to scar tissue removal in Brussels.
Further complicating Andrews' situation, a new report indicates he is also involved in a high-stakes property dispute in Dubai. Court documents name him as the first defendant in a case brought by claimant Alexander Keya. An accounting expert has been instructed to conduct a financial examination as part of the ongoing proceedings, which do not yet have a final judgment.
Sources have suggested that Andrews faces potential re-imprisonment within 14 days if he fails to settle outstanding debts. Documents reveal these debts include £54,000 for a rental car and £15,000 to a United Arab Emirates legal firm. While not actively sought by police, he is required to pay within two weeks. Andrews' representative stated he is unable to access his bank account to make payment and requested a 14-day extension. A source added that Andrews has assured he can raise the capital himself and that Price has been supportive but has not been asked to pay his debts.
Price had previously stated Andrews had "questions to answer" about his finances upon his release. Despite evidence pointing to fraud as the reason for his arrest, Andrews has insisted he was imprisoned on suspicion of espionage and held in a state security building before being transferred to prison over a civil case. He has denied accusations of taking out a mortgage in his ex-fiancée Dina Taji's name without her knowledge, an issue that led to a travel ban from Dubai.
Andrews claimed to have been taken to the Qatar border at gunpoint and captured by armed men. He also refuted claims made by his ex-fiancée Alana Percival regarding fraud charges, stating there is "not one shred of evidence" against him.
