The Abu Dhabi Court of Cassation has upheld an appeal which fined a company Dhs3 million on charges of employing 60 workers not under its sponsorship.
The company was charged with employing 60 foreigners not on its sponsorship and the Public Prosecution demanded it be punished according to the articles of the Federal Penal Code.
The Court of First Instance fined the company Dhs3 million which the company appealed against and the appellate court accepted the appeal.
The company appealed again ruling before the Court of Cassation that rejected the appeal confirming that using a foreigner who is on another’s sponsorship is a crime and it is not permissible to use him until after fulfilling the legal conditions of transfer and taking the legal procedures.
Recently, the Dubai Criminal Court heard the first session of a case involving an Arab, 30, charged with assaulting policemen and abusing drugs.
