UAE authorizes the detention of a man seen buying expensive cars.
According to Arabian Business, the United Arab Emirates has ordered the arrest of a guy who was seen at a luxury dealership telling an auto salesperson that he wanted to buy the most costly vehicles in the garage.
The film mocks and criticizes Emirati society, and it stirs up negative public sentiment among the populace, claims a report by the state-run news agency WAM.
In the viral video, an Asian man dressed as an Emirati is seen attempting to purchase several vehicles, including one valued at $545,000, while being flanked by individuals holding significant sums of cash.
He said, “What is the most expensive car here? Okay. I want the Mercedez, rolls royce and the Red Bull sports car.
The individual has been detained pending investigations by the Federal Prosecution for Combating Rumors and Cybercrimes in the UAE after being suspected of abusing the internet to broadcast exciting propaganda that inflames public opinion and jeopardizes the public interest.
Additionally, he was accused of distributing material that degraded Emirati society and broke media content guidelines.
The defendant was seen in a luxury auto showroom while wearing an Emirati clothing, followed by two others carrying what appeared to be substantial amounts of money, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation at the UAE Attorney General’s Office.
The man was seen on camera speaking with the store owner and “arrogantly” offering to pay $545,000 for a car that was worth more than AED2 million.
According to the UAE’s FBI, “He was shown distributing financial packages to the showroom employees in a way that reveals imprudence and lack of appreciation of the value of money.
“The video promotes a wrong and offensive mental image of Emirati citizens and ridicules them, and then incites and provokes public opinion, which harms the public interest.
“The Public Prosecution ordered the summoning of the owner of the car showroom in which the aforementioned video clip was filmed.”
The Public Prosecution urged social media users in the UAE to adhere to legal and ethical standards when publishing media content, as well as to take into account societal norms and deeply ingrained values that demand moral commitment in all facets of behavior, in order to avoid breaking the law.
