Sorcerer to be deported from UAE
2011-02-11
[Emirates 24/7] A court in Khorfakkan ordered the deportation of an Egyptian man after serving three months in jail for practising sorcery, report said on Thursday.

A police detective, posing as a patient, went to the sorcerer at his house in Kalba and asked for help to cure him in return for Dh1,200 after reports about his deception of many people, the semi-official Al Ittihad newspaper reported on Thursday.

"Once he paid him and the Egyptian started the examination, the detective arrested him," the paper said.

A court had earlier sentenced the defendant to six months in jail and deportation but an appeal court Wednesday reduced the prison term.

#1  The sorcerer obviously needed to learn the magical incantations known as "the legal disclaimer", and the EULA.

If he so much as suspected that the guy was a cop, he should have said that while he, the sorcerer, wasn't a sorcerer, he had heard that the local chief of police was a powerful and dangerous sorcerer, the proof of which was that he drank large amounts of coffee or tea at work.
