Proving partner's forgery of signature on a cheque from outside the UAE
Hi,
I am not a resident of the United Arab Emirates and there was an unpleasant situation with me.
My business partner issued a check on my behalf and forged my signature. The amount of the check is 3 million dirhams. I got an international arrest warrant. Now I can’t come to the UAE for objective reasons. I need your consultation.
How can I prove my innocence?
Dear questioner,
First, you have to perform a power of attorney to our firm.
Then, we submit a request to the court or the public prosecution that you are outside the country for personal reasons and file an appeal of forgery on the check.
For more information, please contact us.
Dear questioner,
You have to open a criminal case against your partner for forging your signature. Further, you have to request the public prosecution to send the cheque for forensic examination which will further strengthen the case on your side.
If need be, kindly contact us via phone for a detailed discussion or write us an email for further assistance.
You should come here to the UAE and provide the evidence of forgery and give all detail to investigation officer and request to examine the cheque by forensic expert.
You may be arrested at the airport but after that you can apply for bail. You should appoint a lawyer to defend you in this case.
Feel free to contact us for further consultation.
