“James Hutchinson was arrested in the United Arab Emirates in July and has been detained at Al Wathba jail – known as Dante’s Inferno. The Brit, 52, has been told he will not be released unless he pays £170,000 in “blood money” compensation to the family of a cyclist he killed in a road accident in 2013.” —Patrick Hill, “Brit held in jail known as Dante’s Inferno won’t be freed until he pays ‘blood money’,” The Mirror, August 12, 2023 (retrieved November 25, 2023)
