A bank employee tried to steal Dh500,000 from the account of three clients, prosecutors claimed at Abu Dhabi Criminal Court.
The defendant, an Asian, forged requests from the clients to transfer the amounts to another man’s account in a different bank.
The bank account holder is also charged in the case, but he fled the country before police could arrest him.
A date has not been set yet for the trial of the first defendant.
A spokesman for the prosecutors office reminded bank customers to pay heed to all transactions in their accounts.
