Dubai: Man fined Dh5,000 after refusing to return the money transferred to his account by mistake

A Gulf national deposited Dh9,200 from her bank account to the account of a young man who refused to refund the money. When the man refused to return the woman's money, she decided to drag him to the Ras Al Khaimah Criminal Court. In her case, the woman claimed that she had unintentionally sent the money to him and that he refused when she contacted him to request a refund. The woman filed a criminal complaint against him, and authorities charged him with illegally taking the woman's money. The man admitted to taking money from the woman's account and stated he intended to repay her. He did, however, mention that he had been having financial difficulties. He was convicted and fined Dh5,000 by the Ras Al Khaimah Criminal Court. The woman sued him in civil court, demanding he refunds the money. The Ras Al Khaimah Civil Court ordered him to repay the woman's cash after hearing from all parties. He was also ordered to pay for her legal fees. BKM/ Expat Media
