Man Ordered to Repay Dh244,820 for Gold Bars Obtained with Forged Bank Slip
Judges side with trading firm after fraudulent transfer receipt exposed as fake in civil lawsuit.
Staff WriterSep 12, 2025, 7:14 AMA Dubai civil court has ordered an Arab man to pay Dh244,820 to a gold trading company after he obtained gold bars using a forged bank transfer slip.
The case arose when the company filed a lawsuit seeking payment for gold it had already delivered. The firm said it entered into a sales agreement with the defendant, who provided what appeared to be proof of payment in the form of a bank transfer receipt. Relying on the document, the company released the gold -- only to later find that no money had reached its account.
Court records show that the company submitted copies of the sales invoice, the falsified transfer slip, and WhatsApp conversations in which it repeatedly pressed the buyer for payment. A subsequent bank inquiry confirmed that no such transfer had ever taken place.
The judges ruled in favour of the trading company, ordering the defendant to pay the outstanding Dh244,820, along with legal interest and court fees.
