The court also ordered their deportation on completion of their sentence in the case that dates back to December 2020, when the victim was arrested at the Dubai Airport while leaving the country. His case had also been taken up by the Public Prosecution and is required to pay AED 600,000; the value of a land lease contract containing his (forged) signature.
The victim claimed that he had no knowledge of this contract and expressed surprise at his name being included in the Dubai airport’s Wanted List, following an order from a ruling court. It was found that copies of his official identification papers had been used to put his name down as a partner in the forged business contract and the forensic evidence verified the same.
