Pages and accounts on social media circulated a report claiming that the Emirati authorities had begun implementing a decision to seize the movable and immovable assets belonging to Rami Makhlouf inside the United Arab Emirates.
The fact-checking team examined the document attached to the claim and returned to its original source, and found that it is a ruling issued by the European Court dismissing the appeal filed by Rami Makhlouf's mother and his two sisters against the decision to freeze their assets, and does not represent any decision issued by any judicial or executive body in the United Arab Emirates, so the content of the document does not match the circulating claim.
Why is this claim misleading?
A false connection: A genuine document issued by the European Court concerning a legal appeal relating to Rami Makhlouf's family was connected to a fabricated claim of an Emirati decision to seize his assets, creating the impression of content the document does not contain.
