The trader was convicted of using an official document of another person and will be deported after release.

The man, 44, was intercepted by Dubai CID personnel while in a taxi. When he was asked to produce his labour card – which he did not have – he used the ID of a fellow passenger who ran away and dropped his ID card.

The defendant wound up in the Wanted Section of Sharjah Police, and had to be fingerprint-tested to validate that he was not the person he had claimed to be.
