The Criminal Court in Dubai ruled a year in prison and deportation of the right of an Asian driver who took advantage of the trust of the management of the company he works in, and stole 662 thousand dirhams from it, which is a transfer coming to the company from another country, with a value of 500 thousand dirhams, and 162 thousand dirhams, which was present in the company's treasury.
He also stole from the safe, a golden seal, took his passport, and left the country in June 2015.
After five years, he returned to the state again, thinking that he had escaped his crime, but was surprised by his arrest, as he was referred to the Public Prosecution in Dubai, and from there to the criminal court, which started his trial for the crime of theft and dishonesty.
The accountant of the company said, in the Public Prosecution investigations, that the accused was working as a driver, and that, in addition to his duties, he would receive the money transfers, pointing to his assignment to receive a transfer amounting to 500 thousand dirhams.
He added that the accused did not appear at the company the next day, so he called him on his phone, but he did not answer, and he asked a colleague to go to his home to make sure whether he was still asleep.
He continued that he had informed the company owner of this, so he asked him to confirm the presence of the driver's passport in the safe, where he was keeping it, but he was surprised not to find the safe key. The owner of the company charged him with breaking it, to find it free of the accused's passport, an amount of 162 thousand dirhams, and a gold ring belonging to the owner of the company. It was later discovered that the accused left the country on the same day, using the company car, which he left in airport parking.
The company assigned the accused to receive a money order of half a million dirhams.
