It was reported that Moore has been in jail since Wednesday night (local time) following his arrest over an alcohol-related incident.

Moore is expected to be charged with drink driving and assaulting police and could face a heavy penalty under Dubai's strict laws.

The 34-year-old has made 52 appearances for Australia and was a member of the World Cup squad this year and in 2006.

Reports later on Friday said the former Socceroo had been bailed pending a court appearance.
