According to the official documents, the defendant applied for opening an account to obtain a credit card from a bank, using a forged ID card and a salary transfer certificate issued by a medical establishment stating that the defendant worked as a doctor for it.
Investigations showed that the defendant impersonated a doctor and was deliberately dressed in doctors’ official white uniform when he met the bank’s representative so that he could fraudulently get a Dhs80,000 credit card.
