A friend is fined due to drinking beer in the car. Can he get a PPC?
Hello,
One of my non-Muslim friends had a minor accident while changing lanes inside the city and both the parties were fined and the issue was resolved.
Then later he had a flat tire on the highway in Abu Dhabi. He called for the pick-up truck and as he was waiting for help and it was getting delayed for like 3 hours, he consumed one beer in the car and slept off.
The police woke him up and took him to the detention center and kept him for 3 days. They took a fine of 20000 and left him. They said he will be notified and he has to appear in court.
He is not sure what case is registered and how serious the issue is. What is the solution? Will he be able to get PCC later?
Dear sir,
The charge will be driving under the influence of alcohol, therefore, as the accused, he needs to be present to the court with a lawyer.

Hi,
Please note that first, we would have to check if the case has been formally registered against you, and we can assist you with the same.
Please arrange to send us a copy of your passport, visa, Emirates ID, and contact number via email.
Hi,
We will need to check what charges have been put on him. Can you please ask your friend to share all the details of the incident by email so we can see if there is any case registered in his name?
If yes, then he will have to close it as soon as possible and once his case is closed, he can apply for the PCC.
