Doctored audio evidence used to discredit Dubai father in UK custody case
A woman used software to create a doctored audio recording of her husband, a Dubai resident, in which he appeared to make violent threats, and presented it as evidence in a UK child custody case. The court dismissed the recording after experts found it had been manipulated, but the case remains ongoing. The father's lawyer said the attempt was to deny him access to his children and portray him as dangerous.
