Abu Dhabi’s Al Jaber Group, which restructured substantial debt last June, has suspended its chief financial officer ahead of disciplinary action, the conglomerate said on Wednesday.

Sam Deeb, the group’s CFO was appointed in January 2014 and “has been suspended pending a disciplinary hearing,” a company statement said without elaborating.
