HII, MY NAME IS SULEIMAN MAHMOOD. I WAS BORN IN UAE AND LIVED ALL MY LIFE IN UAE. I AM SELF EMPLOYED. IN 2007 I PURCHASED ONE 50TON TADANO CRANE FROM CHINA IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MY FRIEND ON HIS LICENSE WE IMPORTED THE MACHINE FROM CHINA TO UAE. ALL THE DOCUMENTS WERE CLEAR THE MACHINE WAS PURCHASED FOR SELLING TO ANOTHER BUYER. ONCE THE MACHINE ARRIVED THE BUYER REFUSED TO PAY THE AGREED AMOUNT SO WE ENDED UP KEEPING THE MACHINE. AFTER 2YEARS I GOT A CALL FROM POLICE STATION ASKING ME TO COME TO POLICE STATION. WHEN I WENT THERE THEY DETAINED ME TELLING ME THAT I M WANTED IN C I D WITHOUT GIVING ME ANY SOLID REASON THEY CALLED MY BROTHER WHO USED TO WORK FOR ME AND SEND US TO C I D OFFICE. DURING THE INVESTIGATION I REALISED THEY WANTED TO MAKE A CASE AGAINST ME BECAUSE THEY DIDNT HAVE ANYTHING SOMETIMES THEY WOULD SAY THAT I STOLE THE MACHINE SOMETIMES THEY SAID THAT I AM WANTED BY ITNERPOL. BUT ALL THE QUESTIONS WERE RELATED TO THE MACHINE I PURCHASED I ASKED THEM TO LET ME BRING ALL THE DOCUMENTS IF U WANT TO INVESTIGATE YOU WILL GET ALL THE DOCUMENTS YOU NEED TO HELP IN THE CASE. THE OFFICER TOLD ME THAT WE KNOW U HAVE A BUSINESS IN UAE AND WE WILL DESTROY YOUR BUSINESS AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE DEPORTED. I WAS DENIED BAIL THE NEXT DAY MY BROTHER GOT BAILED AND I WAS SENT TO JAIL AFTER 20 DAYS I WAS GRANTED BAIL. AFTER SIX MONTHS OF WAITING THE CASE CAME TO THE COURT IN THE COURT WE SUBMITTED ALL THE DOCUMENTS FROM CHINA CUSTOMS, PURCHASE AGREEMENT, SHIPPING COMPANY DOCUMENTS. IN SHORT ALL THE DOCUMENTS WHICH WERE ISSUED BY THE GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT WERE PRESENT WITH THEIR LEGAL TRANSLATION BUT WHEN THE JUDGEMENT CAME THEY SENTENCED ME AND MY BROTHER TO SIX MONTH JAIL AND FINE OF DHS.5, 000/= EACH. THE MOST FUNNY AND WEIRD THING ABOUT THE JUDGEMENT IS THAT WE PURCHASED THE MACHINE IN SEPTEMBER 2007 AND MY BROTHER JOINED MY COMPANY IN MARCH 2008 BUT HE IS BEEN SENTENCED FOR SIX MONTH AS WELL AND MY PARTNED WHO WENT WITH ME TO BUY THE MACHINE AND THE MACHINE WAS PURCHASED ON HIS COMPANY'S NAME, DIDNOT EVEN GET MENTIONED IN THE CASE AND HE IS BEEN KEPT OUT OF THE CASE GOD KNOWS FOR REASON. I WOULD KINDLY REQUEST YOU TO PLEASE GUIDE ME IN THIS MATTER SINCE I DONT KNOW WAT TO DO ALL MY BUSINESS IS SUFFERING BECAUSE OF THIS MY FAMILY MY KIDS EVERYTHING IS AFFECTED. EVEN THE PEOPLE WORKING IN THE COURT DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS SENTENCE WAS CARRIED OUT. MY CASE IS IN ABU DHABI COURT AND CASE NO. IS 13030 / 2009 I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP AND WAIT FOR YOUR REPLY. MY CONTACT NO. IS [protected] AND EMAIL ID IS [protected]@ HOTMAIL.COM
