3 ASIANS BEHIND BARS IN FORGERY CASE: The Dubai Criminal Court sentenced a gang of three Asians, one of whom is a fugitive, to 1 year in jail each, to be followed by deportation after serving the term, and fined the main suspect Dhs220,000 and the other two Dhs150,000 each after being convicted of forging official electronic documents, breach of trust, seizing a vehicle and exporting it to an Arab country with the forged documents.
Details of the case date back to January 2021, when an Arab salesman working for a used vehicle showroom submitted a report stating that the first suspect had seized a vehicle from the showroom, adding that he was a permanent customer of the showroom and that during a visit to it, he requested a vehicle key to test driving because he wanted to buy it.
The salesman pointed out that the suspect did not return the vehicle, so he called him more than once, but he said he wanted to buy the vehicle and add some accessories. After four hours, he did not answer the phone.
