Seller of 'bullet-proof' stone pleads innocent
Published: February 07, 2008, 00:15

Dubai: A man is standing trial for trying to sell an allegedly bullet-proof onyx stone for Dh500 million at Global Village.

"I've been jailed, my wife is in a hotel and my three-year-old daughter has been mentally affected since my arrest ... she has become insane and has been putting her fingers in electric sockets and biting her nails because I am away ... Please! I didn't swindle or cheat anyone," the middle-aged Yemeni suspect, Q.M., told Dubai Court of Misdemeanours yesterday.

The Public Prosecution charged him with attempting to con the public by advertising the onyx stone for Dh500 million in a newspaper (not Gulf News). In the advertisement he claimed that anyone who wears the stone is protected against bullets.
