Ex-wife of ruler Dubai gets custody of children after ‘exorbitant’ domestic violence

With revelations of kidnappings, death threats, her affair with a bodyguard, blackmail, espionage and sophisticated phone hacking against a backdrop of mansions, expensive clothes, millions of dollars worth of jewelry and racehorses, the case often reads more like a Hollywood movie script.
