How can we prepare evidence and witnesses to defend a staff member accused of theft?

Be advised: To build a strong defense for your staff, we should gather all relevant evidence, including employment records, payment receipts, any alibi documentation, CCTV footage, and communications that support her innocence.

We should also identify witnesses—co-workers, neighbors, or others who can testify to her character and presence at the relevant times.

A clear written statement should be prepared, and all documents and witness details organized for submission at the next hearing.

Our firm can assist in filing the documents properly with the Public Prosecution and representing her in court to ensure her rights are fully protected.

For more details, please share your WhatsApp number so we can discuss and guide you further.

For the statement, she should write the story exactly as it happened, mention any evidence that proves she did not commit the theft, and respond to any evidence presented against her in the case file. The statement must be written in Arabic.

As for the witnesses, she should attend the hearing with them. It’s preferable to have two witnesses only, and their testimonies must be useful and relevant — there is no benefit in bringing a witness who knows nothing about the theft incident.

Dear Inquirer,

In theft-related cases, strong defense preparation is essential. Your staff member should gather any documents or evidence proving her innocence, such as work schedules, location records, messages, or witness statements confirming her presence elsewhere or her good conduct.

It is also crucial to prepare written statements and supporting testimony to be submitted before the next hearing.

Given the seriousness of criminal charges in the UAE, we strongly recommend booking a consultation or appointing Future Vision for Advocacy and Legal Consultancy to handle her defense and represent her before the court.

We are happy at Future Vision Law Advocates and Legal Consultancy to assist you and provide the best legal services that meet your needs.

Thank you for sharing these details!

In such theft accusations, especially where jewelry or cash is involved, the key to a strong defense lies in credible witness statements, timeline proof, and evidence showing non-involvement.

For her next hearing, we should prepare the following:

Written Statement – a detailed, consistent explanation of her version of events, where she was at the time, and how she learned about the accusation.

Witness Statements – especially from anyone who was present during her cleaning duties or can confirm her honesty and routine. This could include the employer, other tenants, or co-workers.

Employment Documents – such as her work schedule, payment receipts, and communication with the tenant to show her legitimate presence at the property and transparent relationship.

Police and Detention Record – to verify the dates and clarify that no stolen items were found in her possession.

Any Supporting Evidence – such as CCTV footage (if available), access logs, or messages proving she had no connection to the missing items.

Given the seriousness of a theft charge under the UAE Penal Code, it’s vital that her defense statement is drafted carefully and supported with legally acceptable evidence before submission to the court.

I can assist in reviewing all documents, preparing her statement in proper legal form, and guiding her during the next hearing to ensure her defense is presented effectively.

There is more than one route to defend her, and the best path depends on the prosecution file, the timing of the alleged loss, and her access to the premises.

We handled a closely similar theft allegation against a part-time cleaner and secured an acquittal after building a verified timeline and undermining opportunity and possession.

For your staff member, the immediate priority is a clean chronology and admissible proof. We prepare her own statement in clear time blocks. We anchor her movements with objective data such as building access logs, elevator and corridor CCTV, ride-hailing receipts, time-stamped messages, and work rosters.

We add employment records proving role, duration, and access limits. We obtain any key-handling logs and handover messages with the tenant or supervisor. We secure bank statements and salary records to counter any sudden enrichment theory.

We capture device location records from apps and call detail reports around the alleged window if available. We request the investigating officer’s seizure and search minutes, inventory lists, and chain-of-custody for any exhibits. If a jewelry box or storage was involved, we ask for fingerprint and trace tests or explain why the absence of forensics weakens the accusation.

We gather character references from prior clients and supervisors, and visas and IDs for identity consistency. We preserve every WhatsApp or SMS with the tenant and any instructions or complaints.

For witnesses, we present the scheduler or supervisor who assigned her tasks, any coworker who saw her arrival and departure, security or concierge covering entry and exit, any neighbor or delivery at the time, and the person who can attest to key custody.

If she missed an earlier chance to present witnesses, we will file a timely memorandum asking to admit late evidence for fairness and attach sworn witness details and summaries.

If the tenant’s timeline is vague, we request the court to order production of the tenant’s insurance claim, purchase proofs, and any pawn or sale alerts.

The silent risk is a paper record that looks incomplete, so we package the narrative with exhibits, paginate everything, and upload before the next hearing. Our team can draft the statement, prepare witness briefs, request targeted disclosure from prosecution, and appear to keep the record tight until judgment.

Precise advice requires the complaint number, detention record, charge sheet, hearing notice, any CCTV request receipts, and her employment file.

Our consultants are available in Arabic, English, Russian, Hindi, and Chinese.

To prepare for the criminal case defense of your staff member accused of theft, it is important to gather the following:

2. Any evidence that supports her innocence, such as CCTV footage, work attendance records, and proof of conduct.

3. Witness statements from colleagues, witnesses who can confirm her trustworthiness or an alibi during the incident.

4. Her signed written statement explaining her side of the story to upload as requested by the judge.
