The Dubai Fishermen’s Co-op Association
employee was sentenced to two years in jail for fraudulently obtaining 910kg of
the fish and he was fined Dh78,000 (US$21,000) and ordered to repay a similar
amount to the co-op.
Between March 1 and September 26 last year
the warehouse supervisor received purchase orders for 68 boxes of shrimp
totalling Dh76,000 (US$20,700).
Instead of delivering the shrimp to the
buyers, he took them for himself.
He was also found guilty of using a weapon
to break open the door to the fishermen’s co-op warehouse and stealing another
23 boxes of shrimp valued at Dh16,215 (US$4400).
“He had been working for the society for
six years. On September 26 last year, I was informed by employees that the door
to the warehouse was found broken and boxes of shrimp were missing,” a society
manager testified.
An internal investigation led to the
defendant and to several other thefts he had committed, said the manager said.
