A European man in Dubai forged the signature of his wife in a bid to seize their property.
The man’s wife complained that her husband forged her signature as well as the seals of his country’s consulate so that he can fully own their apartment—which was supposedly equally owned by the couple, reported Gulf Today.

The apartment is located in the Palm Jumeirah area in Dubai.
The European man then re-registered the property to show that he is the sole owner of the property, a witness said.
