An Emirati, who hired an illegal immigrant, has had his jail term reduced from six months to two. However, the Fujairah Court of Appeals upheld the Dh100,000 fine that was slapped on him by a lower court. The worker, who had previously been deported, has been jailed for one month, instead of the three months ordered by the lower court. He will be deported at the end of his prison term.
A court had earlier convicted the worker in a case, but he managed to sneak back in, after which he was hired by the Emirati.
