A judge has called for the arrest of a wealthy couple over the slaying of an infamous BBL surgeon.
The Spanish judge has asked the UAE to seize the couple whom police suspect ordered the assassination of the cosmetic surgeon over a bitter £14,000 BBL deposit.
Emirati authorities have been asked to locate and detain the pair for questioning at the request of Malaga’s High Court.

The UAE has refused to intervene, reports say, with both suspects said to have disappeared.
Police in Spain believe a row broke out between the couple and the notorious surgeon after the woman cancelled a planned buttock augmentation shortly before going under the knife.
It’s alleged that she and her wealthy husband became embroiled in a bitter exchange with Dr Aslani after demanding the return of her payment, as reported by Need To Know.
The surgeon is said to have refused to return the €16,000 (£14,000), insisting the money covered preparations and tests carried out ahead of the procedure.
The dispute allegedly escalated into threats in the weeks before he was gunned down. Three months before his death, Aslani is said to have reported those threats to police.
The 49-year-old surgeon was shot multiple times in the head at his Cirumed clinic in Marbella on 7 October.
His suspected killer was arrested less than 24 hours later at a holiday apartment in nearby Benalmadena.
He was reportedly preparing to fly to Spain at the time of his arrest.
Investigators are now working to establish who helped shelter and supply the alleged gunman with the murder weapon in Malaga.
In the weeks following the surgeon’s death, dozens of former patients have come forward to allege malpractice, intimidation and questionable medical practices.
Local media reports this week detail a litany of claims from women, with some alleging they awoke from surgery to discover they’d undergone procedures they had not consented to.
In 2021, Aslani sued a British social media influencer who accused him of botching her cosmetic surgery. She was ordered to pay £40,000 in libel damages.
