Police records state that an officer at Dubai Airport found a fake visa stamp on a passport.

The accused said in a statement that he paid a tourism agency in a neighbouring country Dh10,000 for visa and travel arrangements to Canada. He claimed that he did not know the visa had been forged.

The court convicted him and passed its ruling.
