Q: Please advise on the following:
My name appears in a criminal case and because of that, I can not get a police clearance.
But there were no charges against me, and accordingly no judgment for me. Because of that, the police can not issue a certificate, however, the case is closed in the system.
What should be done in this case?

How to know whether you have a criminal or civil case and how to clear them


16
Q: I left the country last year and I have an unpaid personal loan with a bank and credit card bill in another (all together AED 75000).
The bank has filed a case against me already (as per their email).
Now I need to know whether the bank has filed a civil case or criminal case since the amount is less than AED 200000.
Also, I need to know whether is it possible to get a criminal record check or police clearance without paying my debt.

If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country? 0
Hi.
One of my friends joined a Telegram group. They said, "We will transfer some amount to your account, and your task is to transfer this amount to another account. Once the task is completed, you will get 30 or 50 AED per task."
He completed 3 to 4 tasks, but he realized it was not good, so he stopped. After one week, when he opened his account, it was blocked, and the bank said, "We are conducting an investigation; after this, we will let you know."
After some days, he had an accident and went to his home country. He then received a call from a landline number, which was from the Abu Dhabi police station.
They said, "We have received a complaint against you; come to our investigation department." However, due to his surgery and treatment, he could not go.
After some time, his bank account was reopened, and he did not receive any further calls. I want to know, if he comes back to the UAE or goes to any other GCC country, will he face any problems?
If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country?
Please advise!
