Does my 6-month suspended prison sentence mean I will serve it if I return to the UAE?
Dear Sir/Madam,
My 6-month prison sentence is suspended for 3 years.
Does this mean that when I return to the UAE after 3 years, I will have to serve 6 months in prison?
Thanks!
Dear Questioner,
If your prison sentence has been reserved for a period of 3 years, it means that the enforcement of the sentence has been delayed or suspended for that duration.
During this period, you are not required to serve a prison sentence.
After the expiration of the 3-year period, if you return to the UAE and the reserved prison sentence is still valid, you may be required to serve the remainder of the sentence, which in your case is 6 months.
However, it's essential to consult with legal experts or authorities familiar with your specific case and the laws of the UAE to understand the implications of the reserved sentence and any conditions or requirements associated with it.
They can provide you with accurate and up-to-date information regarding your situation and any potential legal obligations upon your return to the UAE.
Dear Questioner,
If the penalty is imprisonment for a period of (6) months, with the execution of the penalty suspended for a period of (3) years, this means that if you commit a similar crime within (3) years, the first penalty will be applied to you in addition to the penalty for the second crime.
If anything else is required, don’t hesitate to contact us via email or call our offices in Dubai or Sharjah.
