Abu Dhabi Motors on Sunday denied reports of their purported plan to sue an Emirati after he reportedly used his Rolls Royce car to transport animal feed locally known as juth.

A senior official of Rolls Royce told Khaleej Times that the news, which appeared in a local Arabic newspaper and a Russian TV channel, is a “fabricated report”.

“It is all fabricated and aimed at damaging the image of Emiratis. Nothing like that happened and we haven’t sued any Emirati,” said Khadim Al Helli, brand manager at Abu Dhabi Motors.

The official said the fabricated news was picked up from a Saudi-based website, Al Marhabba Definite. “One of the GCC citizens picked up the fake report from the site and shared it. It was later picked up by the local newspaper. The newspaper ran the report without bothering to check with us (the Rolls Royce dealer) and the Judicial Department to confirm its authenticity,” said Al Helli.

He said no case has been filed by Abu Dhabi Motors against anyone related to the fabricated report.

“It is very simple, these jealous hackers are trying to tarnish the image of the UAE and its citizens by portraying them as nothing but camel traders. Today, the UAE is among the most advanced countries with its citizens highly educated and professionally skilled,” said Al Helli.
