Asian Resident Arrested for Posting Offensive Video on Social Media

The UAE's Federal Prosecution for Combating Rumours and Cybercrimes has ordered the arrest of an Asian resident for posting a video that stirs up the public opinion and harms the public interest.

The expat will be detained pending investigations.

The video clip shows the defendant, wearing an Emirati dress, and going inside a luxury car showroom. He was followed by two people carrying large sums of money. 

The clip shows the man talking to the owner of the showroom arrogantly and asking to buy a car that is more expensive than Dh2 million.

He was also shown the cash to the showroom employees in a manner that displays no value for money and promotes an offensive image of Emirati citizens.

The Public Prosecution has urged social media users in the UAE to observe legal and ethical regulations in the media content they post to avoid falling under the force of the law.
