Mashreq bank representative jailed for stealing more than Dh600,000 from bank The man used forged documents to apply for a loan then withdrew the full amount Salam Al Ami October 15, 2017 Updated October 15, 2017 02:40 PM A man who stole more than Dh600,000 from a local bank after applying for a loan using forged documents will spend three years in prison. The 28-year-old Indian man worked for the bank and, in Dubai Criminal Court this month, denied charges of forgery, use of forged documents and fraudulently obtaining Dh635,000 from Mashreq Bank. A second defendant, a 37-year-old Pakistani man, remains at large and was found not guilty of aiding and abetting. In April last year, prosecutors said the pair forged a salary certificate from Abu Dhabi Investment Authority to show that the Pakistani was an employee there and received a monthly wage of Dh31,750. The two allegedly used a forged a residency visa and a bank statement issued by National Bank of Abu Dhabi to open an account with Mashreq bank before applying for a personal loan "I have done nothing wrong. He gave me the documents when he was applying for the loan," said the Indian defendant in court.Explanation / Answer
Carrying out the trial and attempting to charge someone is unethical by all means until the entire investigation has taken place from all ends. The social and ethical responsibility comprises of the fact that the entire investigation has to take place well before any charge is made or before anyone is proven guilty. The process of investigation however is seemingly slow in the given the case. The defendant being deported is also something that is questionable until all sides of the story have unfold in great detail and the picture becomes clear along with all their subsequent evidences.
