Dubai Islamic Bank, the UAE's largest Islamic bank, was cut to 'neutral' from 'buy' at Merrill Lynch & Co, which cited a corruption probe affecting Deyaar, a unit of DIB, reported Bloomberg. DIB owns 41% of real estate developer Deyaar, whose CEO is being investigated for fraud. Merrill said bad loans at the bank are also a 'worry'.
