Questions & Answers
What can I do if my bank account is frozen for purchasing illegal medication?
Hello,
I have a question regarding the situation I am in. The court ordered the bank to have my account frozen as I am suspected of having used my funds to purchase prohibited substances (medications).
The final judgment isn't due. Will I be able to open a new account? or a new business account?
My current business accounts are operating without any freeze or issue. Would like to know to what extent I am banned from financing in the UAE.
Is the current freeze only on this one personal account? Or is it on me personally not allowing me to issue or operate anything until the judgment is final?
Also, for the frozen sum in the bank account, is there any chance that it will not be released?
I am not accused of reselling or selling or of any financial or illegal money activities.
I am accused of personal use of a prohibited medical substance and of purchasing the prohibited substance for personal use.
Dear Client,
Thanks for your question, I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you with this matter.
In your situation, the freeze appears to be specific to the bank account suspected of being involved in the prohibited substance purchase.
It's not a personal ban preventing you from operating other accounts or conducting business activities unless stated explicitly in the court order.
Typically, such freezes are related to the specific account under investigation, not all of your accounts.
