Fujairah Criminal Court has deferred to May 17 the verdict in a fraud case involving former Fujairah Municipality Director, heads of Planning and Land Departments and others who are charged with forging official documents and accepting bribes.
Fujairah Public Persecution had referred eight defendants to the Criminal Court for forging the documents related to renting of shops and plans of commercial and industrial land. The shops and land were allocated to false names and then sold. The defendants were also charged with taking bribes in exchange for the forgery.
The eight suspects include the former municipality director, heads of the municipality planning and land departments, an employee of the National Bank of Fujairah, a contracting company owner, an expatriate and two women. The Public Prosecution referral decision mentioned that former municipality director (RH) and ex-planning department head (TR) forged official documents. The first defendant, former municipality director, signed blank forms of requests to rent shops as well as plans of commercial and industrial land.
