My brother had a small case of drinking and was placed in jail. Can he get police clearance?

My brother had a small case of drinking and was placed in jail in Abu Dhabi for maybe just a week or so. This was about 8-9 years back.

Will this affect his police clearance letter now which he has requested and is still waiting for it?

Dear,

No, this should not affect your brother's police clearance as long as he does not have any active cases, such as criminal complaints, against him whilst applying for clearance.

Regards.

Minor criminal cases do not affect the clearance.
