A Dubai court sentenced a policeman to
one month in prison on Monday for posting a video showing Argentine
football superstar Lionel Messi’s passport on social media, local media
reported.
The Gulf News daily reported on its
website that the policeman, identified only by his initials J.J., was
criticised in particular for having “abused the telecommunications
system”.
The policeman pleaded guilty and
admitted he was wrong to have uploaded the post of Messi’s passport to
Snapchat via his smartphone.
The incident occurred in December at
Dubai airport, where Messi had landed to attend the Globe Soccer Awards,
at which he received the best player award.
The Emirati policeman wanted a photo of
himself with the footballer, but was told the star was tired from the
flight, The National daily reported last month.
“I then went to the passport control
desk and noticed that Messi’s passport had been left there, so I picked
it up and shot a video of myself while holding it,” it quoted the
policeman as saying.
