32
Q: Hi everyone,
I have left Dubai 10 years ago with unpaid loans in the UAE worth around 1 million AED,
I know for a fact that I have a police case against me, but there is no Interpol red notice issued. My question is that if I have a connecting flight through Qatar, will I get arrested at Qatar Airport during layover/connection for my police case in the UAE?

إمكانية السفر إلى قطر حال مغادرة الإمارات مع مترتبات مالية

س: السلام عليكم.
أنا كنت أعمل مضيفة في الاتحاد للطيران بمدينة أبو ظبي. أخذت قرض والدفعة المتبقية هي 150000 درهم تقريباً.
دفعتني الضرورة لأن أستقيل عبر الإيميل فقط وليس رسمياً. كان يجب أن أدفع 5000 درهم للاتحاد للطيران للاستقالة دون إعلامهم ولم أدفعها، ولم أدفع 10000 درهم إيجار سيارة كنت استأجرتها.
عدت لبلدي للضرورة في عام 2017 وحتى اليوم لا أدري أي قضايا علي ولا ما حصل. البنك الذي يتواصل معي على الإيميل يهدد بفتح قضية.
حصلت الآن على عرض عمل في قطر بمبلغ 15000 درهم شهرياً، و لا أدري ما الحل.

Can I appeal a deportation in the UAE if I was unknowingly involved in a crypto scam? 0
Hello,
Please, I need help. I had a case where someone sent money to my account. I was selling USDT, but another person used me, scammed the person, and sent money to my account.
I sent the USDT. I didn't know the person who sent the money to my account, so I gave him the USDT. Later, I was arrested for scam and using cryptocurrency without a license.
The judgment came out: to pay 900 AED, 1 month imprisonment, and deportation. Please, can I appeal not to be deported?

How to reduce agreed salary deductions if they are too high and affect our livelihood? 0
Hello,
I work for a company in the field of technical works related to interior decorations, and during my work, for technical reasons, some materials that belonged to the company and that we use in our work were damaged, and which should have been secured in a certain way.
My coworkers and I were punished by deducting the value of the materials from our salaries, as the company deducted 15 days per month until the full amount was paid.
The first deduction was made last month, which causes us a lot of harm, as it is difficult for us to face living with the remaining amount.
We know that there was a mistake on our part and we agreed to the deduction, but the amount deducted monthly is half of our salaries, which is a very difficult matter.
If we arbitrate the work and workers in the ministry, can the matter be settled on easy terms with the company, or will our request be rejected?
With many thanks in advance!

If the Public Prosecution appeals a not-guilty verdict with no new evidence, will it stay the same? 0
Hi Sir,
My husband had a judgment where he was found not guilty, as the misdemeanor court stated that it doubts the charges against the accused and found no conclusive evidence except the statements in the report files.
The court considered this invalid because there was no translator. After this, if the Public Prosecution appeals, will the verdict remain unchanged and be upheld if there is nothing more than this
Can you shed some light from your experience on this issue and say if the result will remain the same?
