The court records point out that customs officers had suspected the defendant and asked her to undergo a body and bag search. The scanner showed the existence of thin objects inside her bag.
The incident took place during last October, when an African manager, the victim, filed a robbery report, claiming that he was attacked and beaten up by a gang while being with his fiancé inside his apartment.

A 29-year-old African man was apprehended and referred to Criminal Court by the Dubai Public Prosecution for attacking and robbing a man at knifepoint with the help of other runaway accomplices in Dubai.
The case dates back to March 2020, when police operations room received a call about the robbery incident.
The officer testified saying, “we were dispatched to Al Nakheel Area to investigate a robbery at knifepoint, which left the victim scared.”
Apparently, the victim was walking towards his residence when he noticed an ongoing fight involving the defendant and his accomplices, who he was familiar with, and decided to stop and help end the quarrel.
During investigations, the victim testified that he had got to know a lady through MeetMe App for dating, and they exchanged numbers after chatting together and agreeing to meet. “I knew for about 20 days prior the robbery, and she had sent me photos of her and contacted me through two different numbers,” the victim said.

An extradition request against Bulgarian billionaire, Vasil Krumov Bozhkov, was rejected by UAE authorities.
Bulgarian prosecutors charged him with 18 crimes, including leading an organised crime group, tax evasion, and attempted bribery.
Bozhkov, 64, who left Bulgaria for Dubai as a tourist in January 2020 where he was briefly detained and then released, denied any wrongdoing before the UAE authorities.
“Abu Dhabi Federal Criminal Court of Appeal declared in a final and irrevocable judgement that no extradition order would be made against our client,” said Ghassan El Daye, from Charles Russell Speechlys (CRS) representing Bozhkov.
The extradition request is related to allegations of tax evasion and other claims amounting to more than 300 million Euros, said head of CRS’s Dubai Regional Litigation team defending Bozhkov.
