The Dubai Criminal Court has begun, in absentia, the trial of a (European) real estate broker, on charges of defrauding an Arab investor, selling a fake apartment in a luxurious apartment complex in Downtown, and seizing from him seven million and 772 thousand dirhams, after handing over the project and apartment plan, as well as forging Documents attributed to the Land Department, and receipts attributed to a well-known real estate development company.

The victim said in the investigations of the Public Prosecution in Dubai that he met the accused in 2015 as a manager and partner in a well-known real estate brokerage firm, and met him in his office in a building on Sheikh Zayed Road, and he offered him a hotel real estate unit in a luxurious project for seven million and 772 thousand dirhams, which he paid. In three installments, then the accused handed him the receipts intended to be issued to the project owner.

He added that after several days the accused attended again and handed him a preliminary sale contract attributed to the Dubai Land Department, stamped with seals, indicating that they were registered in the name of the victim, and he assured him that the final contract would be handed over to him after the end of the project.

The victim indicated that he later went to the real estate development company to inquire about the unit he had purchased, and provided them with all receipts and contract, and after verification by the Financial and Legal Department, he received the shocking response that all documents were forged, and the unit was not registered in his name or listed in the Land and Property Department.

The victim indicated that he immediately contacted the real estate brokerage institution to which the accused himself was attributed, and he received another shock that the accused fled outside the country, after defrauding a number of clients in the same way, and embezzling the company's funds, pointing out that he had dealt with the accused previously in units Others without problems, so he did not doubt his sincerity.
