Illegal accused of using another man's Emirates ID

Dubai - The 32-year-old defendant admitted that he had lied in the police interrogation and public prosecution investigation about his name.

A Russian admitted in the Court of First Instance on Wednesday that he showed an Emirates ID card which was not his own to a police officer.
The 32-year-old defendant (a student) also admitted he had lied in the police interrogation and public prosecution investigation about his name, pretending to be the original ID's holder.
The case dates back to March 20 this year.
A lieutenant at Al Rashidiya police station said: "I was checking the files of the detainees and noticed that one of them was a Kyrgyzstani national who had left the country about 7 months earlier.
"I called after that detainee. He said he was Russian and had given false information to investigators and showed them an ID which was not his, because he was an illegal since 2004".
During the prosecution investigation, the accused confessed he presented the other man's ID to the police officer as he did not hold a valid residence visa.
