Shisha company employee fined Dhs1.13 million for stealing daily revenues in Dubai
Dubai Civil Court has ordered a former employee of a Shisha service company to repay Dhs1,034,000 as embezzled amounts besides Dhs100,000 in compensation for material and moral damages incurred by the company. The case dates back to the time when the company discovered financial discrepancies and unrecorded cash amounts in the daily sales data at one of its Dubai branches. The company reportedly suspected the female employee who was the sales manager and cashier, after inconsistencies were noted between actual collections and registered amounts. The branch manager initiated an investigation and identified two financial transactions for which no receipts had been issued so a comprehensive review of sales transactions from 2020 to 2024 was conducted, leading to the employee's admission of regularly misappropriating funds from daily revenues. The company filed a complaint with the Public Prosecution, which referred the case to the Dubai Criminal Court that issued a final verdict, ordering the employee to repay the embezzled amount.
