Dubai: A court has found a former Emirati female medical student guilty of seeking job in the Health Ministry using fake certificates.
The Dubai Court of First Instance awarded the 29-year-old student, R.H., a suspended one-year imprisonment, on condition that she doesn't repeat the crime for three years.
The court also ordered on Tuesday to confiscate the certificates.
Records said the student applied for a job at the Health Ministry using forged documents which said she earned a degree from the college from where she was reportedly dismissed before graduation.
She handed the documents which said she obtained a bachelor's degree in medicine and surgery to the ministry's human resources section when she applied for the job.
An Emirati section official testified that they accidently discovered the forgery when another applicant revealed that the girl had been dismissed from the medical college in one of the northern emirates.
