Q: A security cheque for a loan amount has been deposited by the bank and it bounced, but have not received any call from the police. How can I check whether there is a police case? Currently, the person is outside and he got a new work visa.

Q: I am based in the UK and looking to employ someone who is now back to the UK but was based in Dubai. I need to do a background check to find out if they have any criminal record whilst based in the UAE. Is there any way of checking?

Q: Hello, I am British and lived in Dubai 2015-2017. My fiancé was unable to purchase a SIM card, so I bought one on his behalf which is linked to my passport. We have since ended the relationship and things turned bad between us. He is not a good person and has many police cases. I would like to return to Dubai but I am worried these cases could be linked to me because of his SIM card. I did travel to and from the UK whilst he had police cases and had no problem but it has been two years and I am very worried about getting arrested for his crimes. I am happy to pay for a check on my passport if someone could help. Many Thanks H.

Q: Dear sir/madam, Somebody made a false complaint against me to the Dubai police and it passed 6 months but no news. The police said that I have a travel ban. How much time will it take?
