UAE: Arrest of company director ordered for fake employment
The UAE Public Prosecution has ordered the arrest of a private-company director found to have faked the employment of Emirati citizens.
The suspect allegedly forged e-documents, faked employment contracts, and falsely stated that his company had hired Emirati citizens, the Emirates News Agency reported on Friday.
It was claimed he intended to obtain the benefits and financial support provided by the Nafis (a UAE private-sector jobs initiative) and various Emiratisation programs.
The UAE attorney general received a report about the incident from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation and ordered the launch of an urgent investigation into the matter.
The resulting inquiry proved that the director had committed the actions and falsely hired more than 40 citizens, aided by several company employees.
