(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) A man, who forged copies of his brother's passport and driving licence to rent a 4WD in his name, has been sentenced to three months in jail by the Court of First Instance.
The 28-year-old Emirati pasted his own photo on his brother's documents and then used the forged copies to rent a car. He earlier denied the forgery charge in court, including faking his brother's signature on the rental contract. He failed to pay Dh36,900 of rental charges. The case dates back to November 26, last year. It was reported in February to Al Rashidiyah police. "He visited our car rental office in the International City. He submitted copies of a passport and a driving licence and signed a contract," said a Pakistani employee at the office. When the accused failed to pay the dues the office employee complained against him. "The man, who was summoned to the police station, was not the same person who took the car. It turned out that he forged copies of his brother's documents," the same employee told the prosecutor. The accused may appeal the verdict.
