Extradition treaties between UAE and Bahrain regarding an outstanding loan
Dear Ahmed,
I left the UAE three months ago after losing my job with an outstanding loan and credit cards.
Two of my bank guarantee cheques of AED 20.000, and AED 612,000 (real outstanding is AED 410K) have bounced in December and a police case is likely to be registered against me.
But actually I’m planning to start a new job in Bahrain beginning of next month, then continue repaying from abroad. My residency visa in Bahrain has been issued yesterday without any problem.
If a police case is registered against me in the UAE, will this stop me at the airport in Bahrain while trying to enter, or other GCC countries?.
And am I under risk of being deported to the UAE legally?
My loan outstanding is AED 410K. Total cards outstanding 100K.
Thanks in advance
Dear Sir,
I hope you are doing well.
In the beginning, to apply a ban or an order of arresting you, it has to be based on a judgement from the court affirming that you are guilty.
So, if there is no such judgement, there will not be such an order of arresting you according to the Treaty of cooperation between GCC (I'm advising you to check if there has been a judgment issued or not).
Moreover, Interpol requires a judgment in addition to more conditions, such as that the judgement should be not less than 6 months of jail punishment.
Therefore, The amount you have mentioned is such a big amount and I believe that the bank will sue you.
So, I suggest that you should check if there is any possibility to contact the bank for a settlement avoiding any problem in the future because as I believe you will be under risk of being deported at any time.
Please do not hesitate to contact me here for further inquires.
Kind regards
Ahmed Saad Harb
