Overview
- Multiple UK outlets report that Andrews was taken to Lahbab police station on Friday as he tried to raise roughly £120,000 to satisfy outstanding debts, with the account tracing to The Sun and repeated by other tabloids.
- Those reports say he was given a short window to pay a court-ordered sum or face reimprisonment, and a representative is quoted asking for 14 days because he could not access bank accounts while his wife was abroad.
- The fresh detention follows Andrews’s release from Al Awir prison about a month earlier after a separate period of custody that sources said related to financial disputes; Andrews has denied fraud and says he was mistaken for a spy and briefly held at gunpoint.
- Court papers and reporting cite specific claimed liabilities including roughly £54,000 for a rental vehicle debt and about £15,000 to a UAE law firm, while former partners have separately alleged larger sums such as a £200,000 mortgage taken in one woman’s name and a £123,000 investment claim—allegations Andrews denies.
- Coverage notes that UAE authorities commonly use travel bans, fines and detention to enforce unpaid debts, that Katie Price is in the UK promoting her Sky documentary and has defended the marriage, and that the latest reports rely on unnamed sources with no public statement from Dubai police.
