Dh200,000 name game con busted in Dubai
A foreman who included his name in the licence of his employer’s company and stole Dh204,000 of the company was sentenced to three years in jail by the Dubai Criminal Court of First Instance.
NAO, 31, was found guilty of forgery and theft.
Humaid Rasul, 33, partner, testified that he is a partner in two companies involved in transport and the other technical services.
“A year earlier, NAO was offered a foreman’s job in the company.
"I went to a construction company with whom we had sub-contracted some work to collect our dues. I was told that they had already handed over the money.
"I found that NAO had submitted to them a forged copy of the trade licence after claiming his ownership of the company, so he was paid the dues.
"The accused left to Abu Dhabi, and I lodged a complaint with the police,” he testified.
The accused included his name in the company’s ownership as the real name of the company matched the foreman’s family name, according to the court records.
Account manager Iyad Mukhles, 39, Syrian, testified that the accused had contracted with the General Contracting Company to execute some sub-contracting works.
He made an offer which was awarded to him after he had submitted a licence photocopy that proved his ownership of the company. So, he was handed over two cheques as per the contract and the trade licence.
General Accountant HMZ repeated similar testimonies.
