DUBAI: A court in Dubai has fined a British woman and ordered her deportation for violating the emirate’s strict rules on charity fundraising, a local daily reported on Thursday. The 41-year-old executive – whose identity was not disclosed – had been reportedly acquitted by a lower court in June of the charge of promoting a charity without a license and making financial gains through it. However, after prosecutors appealed, a higher court fined her 5,000 dirhams and ordered her deportation over ‘fraudulently obtained benefits from individuals who were passionate about volunteer work’. The defendant used a fake name, launched a website and a Facebook page on which she asked for donations to treat two young brothers suffering from a liver condition, the newspaper added. The United Arab Emirates – fearing the raised funds could end up in ‘wrong’ hands – have introduced strict controls on charity work.
