The criminal and civil proceedings of a bounced cheque case
I filed a police case against an individual who borrowed money from me. I have both his personal cheques and company cheques for the amount.
He got a fine and was released from custody in a criminal case. Can I add his other company cheques that also bounced in the same case?
Also, will he get a prison sentence if I file a complaint on his personal cheques?
Dear Questioner
Please note that in regards to the first criminal complaint that you have filed against the borrower and he has been fined and released, you should IMMEDIATELY start a civil claim against him to claim the borrowed amounts and submit a travel ban request.
In the meantime, you should use the other cheque you have to rapidly file a new criminal complaint with the other check in your possession to prevent him fleeing the country without paying you.
If you may require further assistance filing the civil claim and more advice regarding the subject feel free to contact me through aelnaggar@lkmbgroup.com
