Hotel worker gets 3 months over bomb hoax

Published

An appeals court in Fujairah sentenced a homesick Filipino hotel worker to three months in prison and ordered his deportation for triggering panic at his hotel in the emirate by telling its manager there is a bomb in the building.

The unnamed worker had earlier been sentenced to six months in jail and deportation but the verdict was commuted by the appeals court.

The man told court he had phoned the hotel manager about a bomb many times because he just wanted to end his job contract and return home.
