Earlier this week, the UAE witnessed a dramatic turn of events as an Asian man was detained by the Federal Prosecution for Combating Rumours and Cybercrimes. The catalyst for his arrest was a viral video that took the internet by storm, featuring the man flaunting enormous stacks of money within a luxurious car showroom in the country.
Going viral for all the wrong reasons
The UAE authorities accused the man of “abusing the internet,” levying charges against him for publishing content that went against the country’s “approved media standards” and showed disrespect towards Emirati society. This decision to apprehend the individual followed a thorough examination of the video conducted by the UAE Attorney General’s Office.
Here’s the viral video:
In the video that spread like wildfire, the man, donning traditional Emirati attire and a face mask, strides confidently into the high-end car showroom accompanied by two individuals pushing a cart laden with what seemed to be an immense amount of cash.

Inside, he boldly demands to view the most extravagant vehicle available, liberally distributing bundles of cash to the showroom staff as ostentatious tips. Subsequently, the Public Prosecution summoned the owner of the car showroom featured in the video, delving deeper into the circumstances surrounding this peculiar display of wealth.
As the legal proceedings unfold, this incident serves as a stark reminder of the UAE’s stringent regulations governing online content and the imperative to uphold the values and social fabric of Emirati society.
