What happens if you get arrested after receiving an international transfer of funds?

My friend has been arrested by Sharjah CID for funds received from an international transfer which he has no knowledge of how he received. He has been in jail for the past 2 weeks.

Even police asked 2 of his office workers to visit and visited their residence and took the laptops and other documents. Then they took hold of passports and other items they collect during the raid of these guys and let them go.

What will happen next?

How does he proceed?

Kindly help us to get some knowledge about this.

It is necessary to visit the Public Prosecution Office and ask about the charge against him, then the question can be re-asked.

Dear questioner

It is the public prosecution’s decision to either prosecute your friend or drop all charges due to no evidence.

Either way, we strongly advise hiring a lawyer to defend your friend as such charges usually have serious implications.
