A cleaner was sentenced to three months in jail by the Dubai Court of First Instance on Monday after he was found guilty of stealing Dh2,100 from a drawer in an office at the Dubai Courts.
Public prosecution records show that the incident took place on December 10 last year when the 29-year-old Bangladeshi cleaner took advantage that a judicial officer walked out of his office to open a drawer and steal the money from it.
The defendant, who has been detained, will be deported after completing his jail time.
The complainant, an Emirati, said that he left his office shortly between 9am and 10am. "When I came back, I found the cleaner there. I was surprised that he had opened a drawer in my desk and was holding my wallet. I told him to wait."
In the meantime, as recounted by the judicial officer, the cleaner began apologizing and asking for pardon. "I ignored him and alerted the section director and the police were called."
When the cleaning supervisor arrived, he was surprised that the cleaner was present there since he was not supposed to clean that section.
According to the complainant, when the police arrived, the defendant confessed to them he had stolen the money. "A policeman told me to check my wallet. I found that an amount of Dh2,100 was missing from it."
The complainant told the prosecutor that he had previously lost Dh1,000 and a pair of expensive eyeglasses were stolen from his colleague.
The police searched the accused and found the amount (Dh 2,100) on his person.
During the police interrogation and the public prosecution investigation, the accused admitted to the charge.
The defendant has the right to appeal the ruling within 15 days from the issuance date.
