Wafi case hearing adjourned until Sept 14
DUBAI - The Dubai Court of Appeals on Sunday fixed September 14 as the next date of hearing in the Wafi heist case. Sunday's hearing was adjourned so as to assign a translator for two Serbian defendants in the case.
The first defendant, 33, who owns a company, was awarded 10 years in jail, followed by deportation, by the Dubai Criminal Court of First Instance on June 8.
He was accused of complicity in the heist at Graff Jewellery Shop in Wafi City, which tool place on April 15, 2007.
The Criminal Court of First Instance handed the jail term to the first defendant as it found him guilty of planning the heist, together with the other suspects, while in Belgrade.
The Criminal Court of First Instance had acquitted the second accomplice, a visitor in his fifties, of the charges of involvement in the crime.
The Dubai Public Prosecution appealed against the verdict. Both the accused have pleaded not guilty to the charges. Four other suspects in the case are still at large.
