UAE BARQ برق الإمارات – نبضك
The Dubai Criminal Court on Wednesday sentenced an Arab woman, 35, to three months in jail to be followed by deportation for blackmailing a Gulf citizen to pay AED 140,000 in return for not disclosing his personal secrets.
The victim testified that he met the defendant a short while ago and used to invite her to restaurants and help her with money as she was a divorcee and had children in her home country.
He also shared some of his personal matters, related to friends and family, and offered to marry her provided she quits her work as a night club dancer. She agreed but did not comply. He talked to her several times but in vain.
He cut off his relationship with her, changed his mobile phone and went abroad for a while.
When he returned, he was shocked when his friends told him the defendant was calling them and asking about him. He immediately had his old mobile number reactivated and called her. The woman asked for money and he gave her AED 5,500 but she asked for more. She threatened she would send video clips of her and him together in Spain to his family, parents, and friends if he does not give her AED 4,500 per month.
