Etisalat honours Dubai Municipality unit

Dubai, September 8, 2011

Etisalat recently presented the Environmental Emergency Office of Dubai Municipality an award in recognition of the Municipality’s efforts in locating criminal gangs who used its network illegally.

“This trophy is a token of our thanks and appreciation of the continued efforts from the Environmental Emergency Office,” said Jaber Al Janahi, acting vice president of Corporate Communications, Etisalat.

“It is also step forward in our collaboration with governmental entities to prevent any potential fraudulent activities that may impact the ongoing development of the country.”

Khalid Salem Selaiteen, head of the Environmental Emergency Office, said: “We noticed suspicious telecommunications activity and began monitoring these accommodations during our daily surveys and worked with Etisalat to discuss the cases that were found.”

“We then notified the Dubai Police, who were able to arrest these Asian gangs that made international phone calls using illegal technologies.”

“We encourage all Emiratis and residents in the UAE to collaborate and inform all necessary parties about suspicious activity, by calling the toll-free numbers dedicated for this purpose, or contact the necessary security officials,” Selaiteen added. – TradeArabia News Service
