Residency visa scammers busted in Dubai: 21 convicted and Dh25m fine issued
Dubai's Citizenship and Residency Court has issued a Dh25.2 million fine against 21 people convicted in one of the emirate's largest residency visa fraud cases. The suspects, from several nationalities, were found guilty of operating fraudulent companies to unlawfully obtain residency visas, which they later sold to 385 recipients. The network exploited legal loopholes by setting up dummy businesses that existed only on paper and never functioned as legitimate employers. Counsellor Ali Humaid bin Khatem, senior advocate general and director of Dubai's Citizenship and Residency Prosecution, said it is one of the largest cases of misusing residency visas to exploit people. He said the investigation included 33 commercial establishments, which served as decoys for obtaining and misusing the visas. 'Most of the business licences under which the illegal establishments operated had been secured by furnishing fictitious addresses. The aim was to undermine and exploit residency and labour regulations for unlawful gain,' Mr bin Khatem said in a statement on Tuesday. Officials from the General Directorate of Residency and Foreign Affairs in Dubai discovered the companies and reported them to the Dubai Public Prosecution. 'The arrests followed extensive monitoring, follow-ups and inspections of the companies' purported offices,' Mr bin Khatem added. Following their arrest, the suspects were referred to the prosecutors for investigation and evidence was gathered and submitted. 'The prosecutors will continue to work closely with its partners to address any violations of laws governing the entry and residence of foreigners as well as labour regulations in order to preserve the stability of society and the integrity of the labour market,' Mr bin Khatem said.

Man stabbed to death after brawl over immoral services in Dubai
As many as three Asian nationals were sent to court on charges of fatally stabbing a man and seriously injuring another during a violent brawl in Dubai's Jebel Ali Industrial Area 1, after a dispute over immoral services. According to Dubai Police, two of the suspects were driving around the city, seeking homosexual services. When they approached two men in Jebel Ali Industrial Area 1, an altercation took place between them. This led to the suspects chasing the two victims with their car. One of the victims called a friend for help, asking him to meet them near a Pakistani restaurant. When both parties gathered in a sandy area near the restaurant, a fight with knives broke out, resulting in the death of one who sustained multiple stab wounds. The other victim suffered serious injuries after being stabbed in the chest and abdomen. The restaurant owner called the police telling them two men were lying in pool of blood motionless in the area. Police patrols, CID officers, crime scene experts, and forensic teams responded to the scene to find the deceased who was transferred to the forensic department for further investigation, while the injured man was hospitalised. Dubai Police launched an immediate manhunt, arresting the three suspects within 24 hours. On being interrogated, they confessed to their crime. The case then was referred to Dubai Public Prosecution, where the suspects were charged with murder and assault.
