The Sharjah Criminal Court considered a case in which three people of Asian nationality were accused of falsifying documents and official cards.
Details of the incident date back to August, when a report was received stating that there were three persons who participated in the process of falsifying official identity and nationality papers. The defendants were caught, and in the initial investigation they confessed to participating in the forgery to obtain an identity card for the first defendant. The first who falsified the papers offered a bribe to the policeman who interrogated him in exchange for deleting his name from the case and releasing him.
The court heard the statement of the policeman who interrogated the defendants, stressing that during his investigation with the defendants in the case of forgery, the first defendant verbally offered him 3,000 dirhams in exchange for his removal from the case and anonymity in the investigations, pointing out that the defendants confessed to their participation in the forgery of the documents.
The court confronted the defendants with the charges against them and the statements of the witness.They denied the charge of forgery and said that they confessed in the preliminary investigations because of their fear of the policemen, while the first defendant denied the charge against him for offering the policeman money in exchange for his release.
In turn, the prosecution asked to convict the defendants, while the court decided to postpone the case until October 29 to present the defense with the continued imprisonment of the defendants.
