How to fight a harassment case filed against me in Dubai while I was in Singapore?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I was a Dubai resident until 2018. I then moved to Singapore, where I had a dispute with my ex-girlfriend over stolen property that belonged to me. She filed a harassment case against me in Dubai while I was in Singapore.

I came to Dubai last week for a holiday, and the police detained me at immigration, placed a travel ban on me, and took my phone.

The harassment took place while I was in Singapore, and she was in Dubai.

Can the Dubai police still confiscate my phone and place a travel ban on me?

Hello,

You need to get a movement certificate from immigration to prove that you were outside the UAE at that time.

If you have the case number, please contact our office manager via phone or WhatsApp and he will support you.

Dear Questioner,

If she filed a case with the police, you need to get the case number that was sent to the prosecutor and submit a request where you defend yourself.
