The Federal Supreme Court in United Arab Emirates has sentenced a Dubai policeman to three years in prison for passing state secrets to the Iranian regime in return for cheap medical care at an Iranian hospital in Dubai, the National reported.

Abdulsalam Al Baloushi, 43, an Emirati police sergeant, disclosed the information about the entity and its employees and high-ranking officials in Dubai to intelligence agents at the Consulate of Iran in Dubai.

In exchange, he was given discounted medical treatments in the Iranian Hospital in Dubai, the court heard.

The Iranian regime is known to use front organizations and foundations, including schools and hospitals, in the region to spy on those countries and export terrorism and fundamentalism.

According to an earlier report by Strategy Page website, “This was all done in such a way that the policeman could feel he was not spying but simply returning a favor to Iranian diplomats who had helped him out with a family medical crises.”

“The fact that the Iranians were seeking the identities of Shi’ite policemen was disturbing as the Iranians have been known to aid or instigate Shia Arabs to do things that benefit Iran, often at the expense of the local Arab government,” it added.
