Fujairah: A Russian man appeared in court on Tuesday charged with taking photographs of unsuspecting women from his balcony overlooking Hamad Bin Abdullah Street in Fujairah.

Police arrested the suspect after receiving complaints about the man being spotted taking the photographs and he was later charged by the Fujairah public prosecution with breaching the women's privacy.

The suspect is thought to have cancelled his residency and was looking to go back home for family reasons. A court decision is expected on April 22.
