Fujairah: A second hearing in the trial of Fujairah Municipality's former director, and seven other suspects in a corruption case was held on Sunday at Fujairah's Criminal Court.
Lawyers for the defence requested the summoning of three witnesses and the case was adjourned until December 21.
Rashid Hamdan Abdullah, the ex-chief of Fujairah Municipality, was dismissed from his post earlier this year, after he was embroiled in serious allegations that he sold government land for personal gain.
Another three Emiratis, three Egyptians and a Sudanese are also facing charges of accepting and offering bribes, falsifying official documents and assisting in deception and fraud.
The Fujairah Public Prosecution case is based on interrogations of the suspects and and evidence provided by 19 witnesses.
