Received a judgment for "arrest" in the public prosecutor app. How to find out the details?

Dear Questioner,

You may contact the Public Prosecution Department. They can clarify the details of the "arrest" judgment shown in the app.

Look for contact information for the Public Prosecution in your emirate. In the UAE, there is no system of paying a daily amount to avoid jail time.

Sentences are determined by the court and cannot be bought out.

If you need further clarification, we can discuss further.

Dear Questioner,

The fine can be replaced with imprisonment, but imprisonment cannot be replaced with a fine.

If you are sentenced to a fine of, for example, 5,000 dirhams, you can stay in prison for 50 days instead of paying the fine.

However, if you are sentenced to imprisonment, you cannot pay a sum to avoid going to prison.

Dear Questioner,

If the judgment shown in the public prosecutor's app indicates "arrest" without specifying the duration or any fine amount, it's essential to clarify the details of the judgment.

Here's what you can do:

1. Consult a Lawyer:

Seek advice personally from a legal expert or lawyer who specializes in criminal law. They can review the judgment and provide guidance on the next steps.

2. Contact the Public Prosecutor's Office:

Reach out to the public prosecutor's office or the court that issued the judgment. They should be able to provide you with the complete details, including the duration of the arrest and any fines imposed.

3. Review the Court Documents:

If you have access to the court documents related to your case, carefully review them for any additional information about the judgment.

4. Consider Legal Options:

Depending on the nature of the judgment and your specific circumstances, you may have legal options available to challenge or appeal the decision. A lawyer can advise you on the best course of action.

Regarding the possibility of paying a sum of money to avoid going to jail, this practice, known as "blood money" or "diya" in some legal systems, is not universally applicable and may not be permitted in all cases or jurisdictions.

Additionally, the amount you mentioned (100 AED per day) may not be accurate or applicable to your situation.

It's crucial to rely on accurate legal information and guidance from qualified professionals. Avoid making any decisions or taking actions based solely on hearsay or unofficial sources.

A lawyer can provide you with the most accurate information and help you navigate the legal process effectively.
