I was detained by Dubai Police for a false case raised by a company against me. Can I get a PCC?

I was detained by the Dubai Police for a false case against me by a company before 7 years and later the case was withdrawn by the company as they realized it was a false case.

Will it reflect in my criminal record?

I have applied for a clear criminal certificate for a new job. If I get that in my record I will not be getting the job.

How to solve this?

Greetings,

As long as the case ended before you were convicted with a final ruling, it will not appear in your criminal record.

As a precaution, you can conduct a search to close the case.

According to UAE law, if a case against you has been withdrawn or dismissed, it should not appear on your criminal record.

However, it is possible that the case may still show up on your record if it was not properly updated or if there was a mistake in the system.

In order to solve this issue, you can request a copy of your criminal record from the Dubai Police and check if the case is still listed.

If it is, you can submit a request to have it removed or updated with the correct information. You may need to provide proof that the case was withdrawn or dismissed, such as a letter from the company or court documents.

If the case does not show up on your criminal record, then you should not have any issues obtaining a clear criminal certificate for your new job.

If a case is withdrawn or dismissed by the court, it should not appear on your criminal record.
