Should I file a criminal or civil case against forgery and fraud?

I saw a news article that mentioned - the forgery of a tenancy contract (EJARI) is a criminal offense as it is a government document.

I have a business contract with an individual who was required to disclose the use of my investment. As part of the disclosure, he shared with me forged Ejari documents.

Therefore, I believe he has not only committed forgery but also committed fraud/cheating.

Can I file a criminal complaint?

Or is my relief only in civil court?

Hello,

You can file both criminal and civil cases. For the criminal case, you have to file the case better through a forensic expert report (private) that there was a forgery.
