Defense in case of work site accident and full recovery of the victim
My husband is a civil site engineer at a private company in Dubai. In Feb 2019, a labourer fell from the 1st floor above and had a minor injury which was treated 15 days in the hospital and discharged.
The labourer flew to his home country later (May 2019) and didn't return to the UAE at his own will. He is hale and hearty till date.
The passports of my husband and 2 of his coworkers were confiscated by Police soon after the incident.
In a court proceeding, they demanded that the injured victim is proved to be healthy. The company legal team handled the case & contacted legal firms in the victim's home country, made documents &video of the victim to prove he is fit and healthy.
The case was dismissed at Dubai court. The public prosecutor appealed against the judgement.
The latest judgement given is embezzlement of funds/bonds handed over to him in prejudice to those entitled to them (breach of trust).
How is the breach of trust and embezzlement imposed on this case? Why should my husband & his co-workers face any punishment without any fault?

Site safety and security of a labourer is the duty of site engineer or safety officer, therefore your husband is made liable for this accident.
You should make a proper defence; hopefully, he will be discharged if he is not liable for it.
