The Dubai Public Prosecution referred an Asian, 42, to Dubai Criminal Court on charges of forging official documents, impersonating a civil servant and attempting to swindle Dhs80,000 from a bank.

The case dated back to January 2020 when a bank employee discovered that the identity of a customer was forged and the rest of the documents were invalid.

According to the official documents, the defendant applied for opening an account to obtain a credit card from a bank, using a forged ID card and a salary transfer certificate issued by a medical establishment stating that the defendant worked as a doctor for it.

Investigations showed that the defendant impersonated a doctor and was deliberately dressed in doctors’ official white uniform when he met the bank’s representative so that he could fraudulently get a Dhs80,000 credit card.
