All money is cashed by son who has a POA. What to do?

I left the UAE in December 2016. I have given a power attorney to my son. He was supposed to transfer my funds to me when I open a bank account in my new location. I moved to Canada.

When I got my permanent residence and social number, I requested him to just send all money at once. At that time, NBAD became FAB and I have no access anymore.

Unfortunately, my POA representative lied to me saying that it is difficult to deal with the bank as there are a lot of restrictions and all the money is safe and untouched. At the same time, he cashed out all the funds from the account.

What legal action I can do now in this case?

Thank you!

Dear Questioner,

Unfortunately, what happened is considered a criminal offense called “breach of trust”.

Apparently, the legal procedures that should be taken will start with an explanatory memorandum submitted to the public prosecution to get the legal opinion and to file a criminal complaint.

Once the complaint is registered to the Police station, his name will be banned, and will not be able to travel outside the UAE.

The police will start an investigating process with him and after investigation completion, the complaint file will be transferred to the public prosecution to investigate him before the civil prosecutor.

Afterward, the case file will be transferred to the criminal court to rule the judgment against him.

If you would like to hire us to proceed with the case from the beginning till the end, please feel free to contact us via email.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks!

Dear Questioner,

Sorry to hear about what you faced!

You need to file a criminal complaint for "breach of trust" and "cheating".

You also need to file a Civil Case to recover this money.

You can contact us on chat, call or message us on the number provided to book a meeting.
