Q: Dear Sir/Ma'am,
I'm an accused in a theft case at my workstation. The amount stolen was 7000 AED. I surrendered, confessed, and agreed to pay the entire amount immediately to my employer.
However, he still called the police and filed a case. At the same time, the police recovered the entire 7000 AED from me, but my boss was still not ready to drop the case.
After a few days, he somehow agreed to an out-of-court settlement, demanding 10000 AED. We agreed to it and, in return, requested him to withdraw the case.
We paid him the amount, and he got a letter from the typing center to withdraw the case. When he went to the police, they said the file had already been moved to the prosecutor.
We went to the prosecutor, and they said the file had been moved to them, but they hadn't registered the case in their system yet. Now the prosecutor doesn't want to drop the case, as he wants legal action to be taken against me.
Please assist with how to withdraw this case from the prosecutor. If it can't be dropped, what actions might be imposed on me?

What can I do to defend myself in a theft case filed wrongfully against me?


1
Q: Hello,
Please, can anyone guide me to the next step?
I went to the police station to check if I had a travel ban and it was confirmed. When I asked them what the case was I knew it was stealing (theft) and forwarded it to the court.
My question: do I need to go to court to follow up on my case as I have important evidence in my hands to prove that I do not belong to that case filed against me?
Thank you for your answer.

Is it possible to convert a deportation order to a fine in a theft case after serving sentence?



1
Q: Hi,
Someone has a theft case with a sentence of 3 months and deportation then the sentence is already served and finished and the person tried to appeal but the judgment remained the same.
What are the chances of requesting a deportation order to be converted into a fine so the person can pay a fine instead of being deported, and remain in the country?

In a criminal proceeding, the standard of proof to uphold a conviction is beyond a reasonable doubt. The prosecution has the duty of establishing the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in a criminal proceeding. This implies that the prosecution has to persuade the court that the evidence used in the trial cannot lead to any other plausible conclusion.

Can I get a new job and employment visa while under a false embezzlement case and travel ban? 0
Hello,
My previous employer filed a case against me for embezzlement and imposed a travel ban. I know for myself it was all a lie, but since the case is already filed and the police investigation is still ongoing, I need to find a job.
However, first, I am worried that my new employer will come to know I have an active case. Second, I am worried that I cannot get an employment visa.
Can someone help me?

Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment? 0
Hello sir,
Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment?
Our system doesn't allow us to issue an invoice unless the goods exist in our inventory. We also require this advance or down payment as confirmation of his order.
My customer is insisting on issuing him an invoice and says that this is required by UAE laws.

How can my kids learn about their father's condition without contacting his family? 0
Good morning,
I have two kids. Their father is in critical care and is not able to communicate, and we have been divorced for more than seven years.
The other side of the family is not communicating with the kids about the father's whereabouts for them to visit him, and they have not been in touch with the kids for the past two weeks due to family issues that took place in court regarding guardianship of the kids.
How can I find a way for our kids to know what is going on with their father and his condition without reaching out to them, to avoid any further escalation?
My daughter has tried to call them, but there was no response.
Please advise!
