Owner of a UAE-based company pleaded not guilty of cheating and embezzlement before the Sharjah Misdemeanour Court on Tuesday.

The businessman K.M. who was accused of cheating an American company and embezzling Dh900000 told the court his colleague Z.D. had committed the crime.

According to the police first accused K.M. and Z.D. created a fake email ID of H Telecom a UAE based company for business dealings with the American company Funding Wireless.

They asked the American firm to send the money to the account number of Green Line a company owned by the first accused.

K.M. told the court that he has given the money to the second suspect who is still at large.

The defence lawyer Hani Al Jasmi told the Sharjah Misdemeanor Court that his client the first suspect is innocent as he neither created the account nor sent emails.

He told the court the second suspect has created the account and also sent the emails.

The forensic report found that K.M. did not create the account and his computer did not have any proof to substantiate the charge.

He also told the court that his client came to know about the transaction when the second suspect told him that someone will transfer money to his company account.

The defense lawyer appealed the judge to acquit his client based on forensic reports and findings.
