A Nigerian man, who was caught in possession of Dh20,000 he received at a money exchange office, using an ID of another man, has been sentenced to six months in jail by a Dubai court.
The 25-year-old man was charged with wrongfully using others' identification document and possessing of amounts of money that his accomplices had duped an Indian woman of.
The Court of First Instance ordered his deportation upon completion of his jail term.
The case dates back to between February and May and was registered at Naif police station.
The police questioned the man after receiving a complaint from an Indian housewife. The 47-year-old woman claimed that about five men had deceived her into wiring them more than Dh 550,000.
One of those men is the original holder of the ID used by the defendant.
The complainant told the investigators that the money was sent in ten transfer transactions.
A police lieutenant said that the defendant was among the suspects sought after in connection with the woman's complaint.
"We learned he was in prison and brought him for questioning on June 21. He claimed an accomplice had told him to receive amounts of money at an exchange office and paid him between Dh50 and Dh60 every time. The accused denied he knew the victim," the officer told the prosecutor.
The ruling remains subject to appeal.
