The Dubai Criminal Court said the Filipino forged the forms from guests and put his own bank details so that the money was sent to him. The transactions were carried out between November 2017 and July last year.

A manager from the hotel said that they received notice from their bank informing them about transfers from the hotel’s account to the same credit card. It was discovered that the Filipino had been replacing the credit card numbers of hotel guests with his own.
