Dubai: A policeman has pleaded not guilty to unlawfully revealing secrets and alerting a brothel allegedly run in hotel rooms of impending police raids.

Records said the 34-year-old Yemeni suspect abused his authority as a First Policeman when he reportedly warned a 45-year-old Uzbek lady that the police were on the verge of raiding the hotel rooms which she ran as brothels.

"I didn't do it and I am innocent," argued the first policeman when he defended himself before Presiding judge Saeed Salem Bin Sarm of the Dubai Court of First Instance on Tuesday.

The woman, N.J., also pleaded not guilty and she asked the judge for a swift ruling because she wanted to get deported.

The Public Prosecution charged the Yemeni, A.A., with revealing secrets related to his work and in his capacity as a first policeman and alerting the woman of police moves. He was also charged with failing to report to the police about the alleged crime.
