Dubai: Police honoured a taxi driver who returned a bag that contained 130,000 Euros (around Dh650,000), he found in his taxi.
Brigadier Abdul Jalil Mahdi, Deputy Director of Dubai Police's Preventative Security Department, honored Salamuddin Sudajer, a Pakistani who works for National Taxi, for returning the bag of money to Al Rashidiyah Police Station.
The bag belonged to a Tunisian national Latif Montaser, who forgot his bag in the taxi, which he took from Dubai International Airport.
