Abu Dhabi: Female employee jailed for 3 years after seizing AED 2 million from tenants

Abu Dhabi Criminal Court ruled on the case of an Arab female employee working for a private real estate company, after she was found guilty of falsifying rental contracts issued for a government agency, and seizing the money that belonged to 19 of 2,116,100 Dhs, and deposited the amount in her personal bank account. The woman was sentenced to 3 years in jail, a fine of 150,000 Dhs, and deportation.

Prosecutors had previously referred the defendant to trial for forgery and embezzlement, after she was proven to create documents similar to the government agency’s, and forging the signature of the real estate company, adding changes to tenant leases.
