An Arab national was cleared by the Dubai Misdemeanour Court of falsifying unofficial documents and aiding in the theft of a $1,660,000 commercial ship flying the flag of an African nation.

The Public Prosecution of Dubai filed four charges against an Arab national, according to the case papers. These included forging a contract for the sale of a ship, forging unofficial documents and claiming that an African nation issued them for ship registration, submitting a forged document to register the ship in another African nation under a false name, and cooperating to embezzle the ship that was delivered to him under a power of attorney.

The ship, which flew that nation’s flag when its lease with an Asian company expired, was purportedly given to him by the owner of that company, who gave him instructions to travel there under a power of attorney.

But the main suspect took control of the ship and faked official documents so he could sell it to a different business and say he was the owner.

The suspect stated that he was not involved in the crime and that he was employed as a director of the Classification Society (MCS) and a maritime attorney. An African nation had recognised him as a classification expert.
