Jobseekers who use fake degrees to get work in the UAE may soon face
two years in prison and a fine of up to Dh500,000 ($136,000), the Federal National Council heard.
Under a
draft law passed by the FNC on Tuesday, people who use forged qualifications will face stricter penalties, even if they claim ignorance about the authenticity of their documents.
People who mistakenly or unknowingly use a fake degree will be fined up to Dh30,000 and could spend up to three months in jail.
“Everybody knows the rapid technological advancements for producing such documents,” said FNC member Nasser Al Yamahi.
