The Abu Dhabi Criminal Court has handed down severe penalties to ten individuals involved in a violent altercation at a local hotel. Following a swift investigation by Abu Dhabi Police, the court sentenced six of the primary participants to six months in prison, alongside a hefty fine of Dh300,000 each. Upon the completion of their jail terms, these individuals will face mandatory deportation from the country. Two additional participants received fines of Dh50,000 each for their roles in disturbing the peace and engaging in physical assault.

Beyond those directly involved in the fighting, the court also addressed the illegal recording of the incident. Two individuals were found guilty of violating privacy laws by filming and sharing footage of the brawl online. These two defendants were also sentenced to six months in prison, fined Dh300,000 each, and are set to be deported once their sentences are served. Furthermore, the court ordered the confiscation of their mobile devices and mandated that all related video evidence be permanently deleted.
