Dh73,000 watch scam: Al Ain court rules money must be returned

## Court Ruling on Watch Fraud

A civil court in Al Ain has mandated the repayment of Dh73,000 to a man defrauded in a watch purchase. The court found that two brothers were involved in the scam, with the first brother misleading the claimant into believing he could acquire a luxury watch below market price.

## Details of the Fraud

The claimant had transferred the money to a bank account belonging to the second brother, under the pretense of purchasing the watch. Upon realizing the deception, the victim sought legal action to recover his funds and additional compensation.

## Legal Proceedings
