Company owner charged for forging deposit bill in UAE

Sharjah - He allegedly changed the value of deposit amount from Dh3,000 to Dh5,000.

A criminal court in Sharjah has charged an owner of a firm with forgery for tampering with Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (Sewa) deposit bill.
The Arab suspect, the owner of business services offices, has allegedly changed the value of deposit amount from Dh3,000 to Dh5,000.
During the hearing session, the defendant denied the allegation saying that an accountant, who worked for a company owned by his relatives, presented the forged receipt of the Sewa deposit, and not him.
A witness said that they had received a complaint from the legal advisor of Sewa stating that a forged document was submitted by a client.
When they cross-checked the receipt with the Sewa office documents, they found out an amendment has been done in the receipt of the deposit amount, which the client was eligible for a refund.
The court has postponed the case to October 14 to summon the legal advisor, who alleged the forgery, to hear his testimonies.
