How to claim labor dues from the employer after filing execution case?

I was employed by a company that couldn't pay its employees but kept promising us to hang on. The funding was coming. Many months of promising and the money never came.

I eventually left after working for them for 8 months. I opened a court case and eventually won the court case working through the Al Adheed Center (it's a lengthy process).

But still, the company has not paid. They were notified by a newspaper because the office is now closed down. I have no idea where the owner is. I have copies of his passport (he actually has 3 that I'm aware of) and his emirates ID.

I asked the courts to issue a travel ban against him, but they won't do it because the company trade license is now expired.

I can't believe I've spent about AED 15,000 on court costs, only to be told now that basically, he is going to get away with it.

What are my options?

What can I do?

35 employees worked and did not get paid. Some opened court cases, some chose not to.
