Q: Dears Please note I am stuck in a cash embezzlement case with my company for 44k and I made a written confession about this and will return the amount. My cheque and passport are on hold with the company. One more colleague of mine is involved in this case and he confessed for 204,000. If he doesn't pay, will that affect my agreement? Can the company retract the agreement and case against me? I made some payments to the company and I have the proof of payments. Now the company wants to audit the amount. If there's any difference, they will ask me to sign a new contract which I don't want to because I have not taken that amount. If the other colleague who is involved also doesn't accept.the difference amount, what will be the scenario? Please advise

Q: Hi Sir, I have a case in Dubai Courts for the embezzlement of 30500. When I appeared in front of the judge in the 1st hearing, they asked me if I did it or not. I said I did not, then they said I need to submit my reply in Arabic to defend myself. What will be the charges from the court if I lose the case and where can I get it translated to Arabic?

Q: Hi Madam, I request your advice on the below topic. I have a civil case judgment against me to pay an amount to my company. I can pay back the amount as per the judgment. But my question is do I need to wait until my employer files execution on the judgment or I can pay the amount before that? Please advise. I have a job offer in my hand so I need to finish this and join after visa cancellation. I am from Abu Dhabi.

Q: Good morning, I would like to know if there is any process to file a case against my employee who has absconded after his vacation and taken a big loan from the company. Thank you!

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My previous employer has filed an embezzlement case against me after I left the job (almost 14 months ago). I have no clue what evidence they have, as it is a fake case. I also didn’t have any non-compete clause in my contract. The case is still under investigation at the police station and has not been passed to prosecution. My statement was taken two months ago, but there has been no further development. I do have a travel ban in place, as it is a criminal case. Is there a way to move the case to prosecution and lift the ban? How should I prepare for it?
