If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country?
Hi.
One of my friends joined a Telegram group. They said, "We will transfer some amount to your account, and your task is to transfer this amount to another account. Once the task is completed, you will get 30 or 50 AED per task."
He completed 3 to 4 tasks, but he realized it was not good, so he stopped. After one week, when he opened his account, it was blocked, and the bank said, "We are conducting an investigation; after this, we will let you know."
After some days, he had an accident and went to his home country. He then received a call from a landline number, which was from the Abu Dhabi police station.
They said, "We have received a complaint against you; come to our investigation department." However, due to his surgery and treatment, he could not go.
After some time, his bank account was reopened, and he did not receive any further calls. I want to know, if he comes back to the UAE or goes to any other GCC country, will he face any problems?
If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country?
Please advise!
Dear Questioner,
We suggest your friend run a check on his current status in the UAE to see whether he has a case or not.
Depending on the nature of the case, there might or might not be a GCC ban. You can contact us via WhatsApp or email for further assistance.
Thank you!
Dear questioner,
We need to check his travel ban and arrest warrant status to confirm whether he has any case.
Generally, the chances of having an issue in other GCC countries are low, but we cannot predict.
If you need our assistance in checking the ban, kindly share your WhatsApp number.
While GCC countries have some level of cooperation on security matters, their legal and financial systems are not fully integrated.
Whether information about the investigation in the UAE will be shared with other GCC countries is uncertain.
Normally restrictions imposed in one country have effect only in the country itself.
We will check his immigration status in the UAE. Kindly share your WhatsApp number so we can discuss this further.
Hello,
Your friend's situation suggests that his bank account was investigated for suspicious transactions, likely related to money laundering or fraudulent activities.
The fact that his account was initially blocked and later reopened could indicate that the bank completed its investigation and did not find sufficient grounds to proceed with further legal action.
However, the phone call from Abu Dhabi Police suggests that there was at least a preliminary complaint or inquiry against him.
If he returns to the UAE, there is a possibility that his name is still flagged in the system, and he may face questioning at immigration. To be certain, he should check his legal status before traveling.
As for travel to other GCC countries, the UAE shares security and legal cooperation agreements with GCC nations, but not all cases result in cross-border enforcement.
If there was no formal criminal charge, arrest warrant, or travel ban, he may be able to travel to other GCC countries without issue.
However, if an Interpol Red Notice or a GCC-wide alert was issued, he could face legal complications upon entry into another GCC country.
To avoid any risks, your friend should confirm his status before making any travel plans. If he needs legal assistance in checking for any pending cases, travel bans, or police complaints, he can contact me via phone or email.
Greetings,
Your friend’s situation is serious, as it involves potential financial fraud or money laundering investigations.
Even though his bank account was unblocked and he has not received further calls, there is a possibility that a case is still open against him in the UAE.
Key Considerations:
- Travel Risks: If there is an active case or arrest warrant, returning to the UAE or traveling to another GCC country could pose legal risks due to regional security cooperation.
- Case Status Check: He should verify whether any case or travel ban exists before making any travel plans.
- Legal Representation: Given the nature of the complaint, seeking legal assistance before returning is highly recommended.
To ensure his legal safety and avoid unexpected complications, we strongly advise booking a consultation with us or appointing legal representation in the UAE.
Wishing you a pleasant day ahead,
Your friend’s involvement in such transactions may have led to a money laundering investigation.
Since his bank account was unblocked and he hasn’t received further calls, the case may have been closed.
However, to avoid any risk upon re-entering the UAE or other GCC countries, he should check his legal status through a lawyer or the police inquiry system before traveling.
If there is an active case or travel ban, legal assistance may be required.
Your friend was involved in a task involving transferring funds through a Telegram group, which led to his bank account being blocked and an investigation by the Abu Dhabi Police.
Although the investigation appears to have been resolved (as his account was reopened), he is still concerned about potential issues if he returns to the UAE or visits other GCC countries.
Here are the key points:
- UAE Investigation:
Your friend should verify whether the investigation has officially concluded without any charges. If any legal proceedings or complaints remain, it could impact his ability to travel.
- GCC Travel:
GCC countries often share criminal case information. If there’s an unresolved case or legal issue in the UAE, it may affect travel to other GCC countries.
- Advice:
It’s recommended that your friend confirms the status of the investigation with UAE authorities or consults a lawyer to ensure there are no legal barriers or travel restrictions before returning to the UAE or traveling to other GCC countries.
