Dubai: A former ski trainer has won a three-month suspended imprisonment after presenting a court a waiver from the woman who accused him of threatening to poke her eye.
The Dubai Court of First Instance found the 29-year-old Moroccan suspect guilty of threatening to poke a Singaporean woman's eye and to hurt her family because she refused to help him financially.
Presiding Judge Al Saeed Mohammad Barghout awarded the Moroccan a three-month suspended jail term after the accused pleaded not guilty and handed the court a written waiver.
Records quoted the 45-year-old Singaporean woman alleging that the former ski trainer threatened to jab her in the eye, hurt her family or kill her if she did not give him money.
"I am not guilty ... I didn't do it," argued the suspect R.D., before the court.
The Public Prosecution charged him with verbally threatening to kill the woman, R. J. The woman testified that she became friends with R.D. when she started taking her son to the slope in Ski Dubai.
