How to file a complaint against a person who sent me a threatening email?
Hello,
I am looking for legal advice, related to a received letter (email) that may contain threatening content.
So, I would require advice if there are conditions for opening a case in Dubai Court against the perpetrator, based on Art 351 of the UAE Penal Code.
I already legally translated the email to Arabic.
Dear,
You can definitely file a criminal case against the sender of the email as according to the law, any person who threatens another person to do/or not do something against their will is liable for punishment.
Article 351 of the UAE Penal Code states that through the use of threatening, the person:
(1) commits a crime against his life or property, (or that of others)
(2) divulge matters which offend the latter's honor with instructions to commit or omit certain acts or with the intention to give such instructions,
If either of these requirements is met, then article 351 of the UAE penal code shall apply. You can go to the local police station and file a complaint.
Kind regards,
KHA Advocates.
