Dubai has recently convicted 21 individuals involved in a significant visa fraud scheme, as reported by the Dubai Citizenship and Residency Court. The scheme notably included the illegal use of residence visas and the shutdown of facilities without paying workers their rightful dues.
Authorities imposed a fine of Dh25.2 million on the convicts for their illicit activities. This fraud impacted many workers, who were left unpaid due to the exploitation of residence visas.
The court has underscored the critical importance of:
- Protecting workers’ rights
- Maintaining the integrity of Dubai’s legal system
This conviction serves as a strong message against visa fraud and exploitation, reinforcing the government’s dedication to fairness and justice, particularly within Dubai’s residency and labor sectors.
Dubai is proactively strengthening laws to combat illegal activities and to safeguard both residents and workers.
