Convicted thief’s plea rejected
ABU DHABI — The Supreme Federal Court has rejected a petition by a convicted thief and upheld the orders of lower courts sentencing him to three years in jail.
The court said the defendant did not deny his earlier confessions, and hence his later denial can not be sustained.
The public prosecution had charged Abu S. with burgling the office of Al Matooq General Contracting Company, and prayed that he be penalised in accordance with the rulings of Islamic Shariah, and the Federal Penal Code.
The Abu Dhabi Court of First Instance found the defendant guilty, and sentenced him to three years in prison, to be followed by deportation, after the completion of the jail term. Abu contested the verdict with the Abu Dhabi Shariah Court of Appeal, which dismissed his petition. Therefore, he approached the Supreme Court.
The public prosecution filed a counter suit seeking the rejection of the defendant's petition. Yet, the court turned down the prosecution's plea, since Abu filed his suit within the permitted period of appeal.
The defendant tried to throw suspicion on the procedures of arrest, claiming that many other people had walked into the burgled office as asserted in the report of the fingerprint expert. Among the fingerprints found at the office were that of an engineer working with the same company. But, the expert submitted that the engineer had just spread out some folded accounts documents.
