Abu Dhabi police arrested an Omani man on charges of trying to smuggle an Uzbek woman into the UAE, although the woman had been deported from here.

Police in the eastern oasis town of Al Ain seized the couple at the border with Oman after discovering her ID is fake.

She later told police that she had paid $5,500 (Dh20,000) to the Omani to smuggle her into the UAE by posing as his wife.

The man told police he agreed to take the woman to the UAE using a fake marriage document, after she paid him that sum.

The prosecutor charged the man of trying to smuggle a foreigner into the UAE and using forged documents while the Uzbek was charged of trying to enter the country illegally after she was deported.
