I was expecting AED 20k or more so this is great news.

And I'd like to thank all you lot who sent me supportive messages over the last 6 months, it's been a pretty stressful time.

Need to get passport back now and pay overstay fine then get residency.

Thanks again,

Well done. Great news. Anu chance of a link to original story. Not sure what I'm congratulating you on ???

For getting off lightly for his crimes against UAE society.

Hero-worshipping criminals is wrong...The Krays...Carlos the Jackal...Spugsy the 'Van'dal.

Spare a thought for the poor victim.

yeah that's the next step, immigration - get passport back in 2 weeks and need to see them.

To be fair I did take my lawyer and mate to court, swopped my assport for his, drove to Oman and they wouldn't let me out of Dubai with an ongoing case, so hopefully one months fine and thats that.

Good result though.
