A businessman claims a woman he met in a hotel bar in Abu Dhabi stole Dhs200,000/$55,000 in cash from him – but admits he was too drunk to remember the full events of the evening.
Police are studying grainy CCTV footage of an African woman and the Korean businessman entering a hotel in the capital late last year, then her leaving some time afterwards.The Korean was carrying the cash in a parcel, but a legal source close to the case said that the investigation was floundering due to the poor quality of the CCTV footage – and his lack of memory of what happened that night.
“He accepts that he was with the woman but doesn’t know if he met her or if she followed him,” the source said. “Also, the CCTV camera was too far away, so police say it’s difficult to identify her.
The married businessman admitted to cops he was very drunk at the time and only has a vague recollection of being in the hotel with her.
The businessman had been entrusted with the cash by a major corporation – which was setting up a branch in Abu Dhabi and needed the cash to make payments to staff and suppliers.
The man has not been sacked from his job. His company is helping police in the hunt.
He keep the money on top room table? Lol, don't feel sorry for him one bit. If such a large amount was entrusted to you the responsible thing to do wouldv been to keep it with the hotel management if for whatever reason he was unable to put it in the bank.
