Q: Hi, How can I know if I have a police case in the UAE? If I go to the nearest police station or the CID office, they might get a chance to arrest me. But if I have my passport, do you think they will do that?

Q: Hi Anitha, I already checked in the Dubai Police website if I have any financial cases, But I didn't get the result! They're showing mobile as my company PRO and the activation code didn't come to this mobile number. What can I do? Thanks, Lijo

Q: Greetings, My nephew has been allegedly arrested by the Ajman Police because his work colleague accused him of stealing his money. We have paid the money to the complainant's parents back in our home country per the agreement we had with the complainant, yet he said that the case has been pushed to the court and my nephew has been remanded till 28th of February 2020. I kindly seek your assistance to verify if what the complainant is telling me is true or not so I know the necessary action to take. The big problem is that I’m not living in the UAE and he has no relatives living there with him. I need your assistance and advice on this case, please!

Q: Hi! Is it possible that I will be arrested in Dubai if the police called me to go to the station and give a statement to file it to the court and I escaped the country in purpose after the call? If I have custody, could that cause me to lose it? And what are the risks if I returned to Dubai?

Q: How would I come to know if there is any case open against me?

Q: Dear sir/madam, I was told at immigration upon entering the country that I have a police case with a fine of AED 5000. I went to the police and was told to go to Dubai court as there is a fine. I am asking where should I pay the fine; at court or public prosecution? It is a bank fine for sure.

Q: Hello, How can I know if I have any complaints or am wanted by Dubai Police without visiting a police station?
