Forgery Accused Pleads not Guilty
The Dubai Criminal Court of First Instance on Sunday adjourned the hearing of a vehicle registration forgery case, involving two expatriates, to January 10.
While the first 37-year-old suspect, an Iraqi national, is at large, the second, a 27-year-old Pakistani, who is in judicial custody, pleaded not guilty.
On February 21 the second man forged a copy of a vehicle registration car ‘issued’ by the Dubai Police G.H.Q.
He presented it to a bank here to obtain a credit card. However, the counterfeit was noticed while the application was being processed.
The first man abetted and conspired with the forger, by acknowledging that the copy presented to the bank was a true copy of the original card in violation of the law.
The accused at large had signed on the cheque of the transaction to help the forger obtain the credit card.
As the Roads and Transport Authority’s (RTA) report, the vehicle registration submitted to the bank proved to be belonging to some one else.
