Q: I have a police complaint filed against me. I'm out of the country. Somebody contracted me to process Europe Citizenship for him and his family. However, I left the country during the process and couldn't return due to circumstances beyond my control. Now, I want to come back to Dubai to continue my business. I have tried everything possible to sort the issue out with the complainant but he is refusing to accept negotiations with me. Now, I want to come back to Dubai with his amount of AED 30.000 in hands. As I will be arrested at the airport, will I be discharged immediately if I pay the money to the police or I will serve a jail term? The case has not been transferred yet to the public prosecution.
