A court in Dubai sentenced three foreign women, aged 30, 33 and 34, to three months in prison and ordered their deportation after they were convicted of robbing a businessman, who himself faced trial.
Two other women, including the one who seduced the victim, remained at large after they managed to flee the apartment where they robbed the man.
Newspapers said the businessman went to the apartment in Al Quoz after he was invited by a presumed Swedish girl he met online.
The unnamed man made the mistake of his life when he went for the date with more than Dh50,000 cash, a sum he has just received from a business deal.
When he knocked at the door, the woman invited him in and he happily stepped into the apartment.
His shock turned into horror when they jumped on him and started to slap and punch him.
After they managed to control him, they slipped their hands into one pocket and found his money. They were so delighted with the big sum that they did not bother search the other pocket.
Once he was out, the man rushed to the building’s watchman, who called the police. Two women managed to escape while the other three were caught as they tried to escape through the window.
Newspapers said the prosecutor decided to refer the man to a court of misdemeanor for encouraging vice as he went to the woman’s apartment in the hope of having an illicit relationship.
Dubai Public Prosecution ordered the deportation of the businessman. He was also fined Dh5,000 for soliciting prostitution.
