DUBAI: Dubai Public Prosecution has referred five Asian men to Dubai Criminal Court on charges of forging Dubai Customs documents and smuggling out cigarette shipments.
Then men allegedly forged exit permits to smuggle shipments of cigarettes out of Jebel Ali Port in order to avoid paying customs duty of about half-a-million dirhams.
One of the suspects is a guard at the port who helped the others take the shipment out without authorised documents in return for Dh4,000.
The guard told the Prosecution that he knew one of the suspects since a few months and colluded with him to help the gang sneak out the shipments without customs documents provided he is given Dh1,000 for each shipment that he helps clear out.
