Fraud of CEO of private jet firm against Dubai-based gift company

Three suspects have been  referred  by the Dubai Public Prosecution to the Dubai Misdemeanor Court over charges of fraud, forgery, using forged documents and possessing items resulting from a fraud case.

The three men committed a fraud against a Dubai-based gifts company of AED 25,800 worth of gifts using forged documents.  The first suspect posed as a CEO of a private jet company and lured the gifts company to send a variety of gifts to two guests in the UAE (i.e. the second and third defendants). The first defendant forged a bank transaction document to demonstrate payment of AED 25,800 to the gifts company's bank account so as to convince them to send the gifts to the two other defendants. The first defendant also forged a fake transaction in the system to the bank account of the gifts company.
