Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood politician fails to attend UAE trial



ABU DHABI // An Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood politician accused of insulting the UAE failed to attend his trial in the State Security Division of the Federal Supreme Court as he is imprisoned in his home country.

Essam Al Arian’s charges of publicly insulting the UAE and its rulers and threatening the country’s peace, stem from an appearance on an Egyptian television show on June 18, 2013.

He is currently awaiting trial in his Egypt after being arrested on October 29 on suspicion of publicly inciting protesters to be killed and other violent acts.

Prosecutors said a formal letter from the Egyptian prime minister stated that the defendant was imprisoned and hence could not attend his trial in the UAE.

Judge Falah Al Hajeri requested the court to contact the relevent authorities have Al Arian declared as wanted and adjourned the case to July 6.

Only Nevada and Arizona remain to be called, and both swing states are leaning Republican. Trump swept all five remaining swing states, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, sealing his path to victory and giving him a strong mandate.

How do Sim card scams work?

Sim swap frauds are a form of identity theft.

They involve criminals conning mobile phone operators into issuing them with replacement Sim cards by claiming to be the victim, often pretending their phone has been lost or stolen in order to secure a new Sim.

They use the victim's personal details - obtained through criminal methods - to convince such companies of their identity.

The criminal can then access any online service that requires security codes to be sent to a user's mobile phone, such as banking services.
