Q: A person stole my wife's luggage from the bus and is now calling me to come to Ajman and collect it. Do I file a case in MOL or in court? If in court, where do I need to go?

Q: Hello. I met two Jewish guys in a hotel in 9.12.2020. I went to their room and after 30 minutes left. That evening, the police came to my house searching for money. They didn't find it. We went to the police station and stayed until morning at the police station. Because there was not enough proof, they let me go. Please help me. That day I sent my money to my country 3200, can it be like proof against me? I touched the safety box in front of him but,only door, not pin cod entering the place, is it also a proof? They have a video like I am doing a sexual act, can it be used against me or he also can have problems? Please help with advice. In the corridor, I was putting money in my bag and running out of the room. What can I get for such a case? Deportation, jail, fine? Thank you very much.

Q: I and two of my employees gave witness against some people in Ajman that I saw selling a container of cell phones that they took from a guy they cheated. Also, I witnessed that they were involved in the fraud. They got convicted and they made an appeal. Now they did the following: 1) The company owner (Staying in Pakistan) confessed in the objection that he did everything legally, such as signing an agreement and selling the company to a company other than the person I witnessed against. 2) They mentioned the mistake in my dates that the material was sold inside the port directly from company to company not by them. I gave dates of witnessing them 5 days later as compared to papers of delivery given by Dubai customs under name of buyer. 3) They showed that they have previous cases against me that I did not tell the court, prosecution, and judge. Can they get easy acquittal? How can I stop them from getting acquittal because after acquittal they will surely open a case against me?

Q: The complainant said in a complaint that I received the shipping documents from him. However, this is a lie and he and his fake witness (his friend) only said that to trap me in this case. They never presented any written paper, receiving or CCTV camera, or any sort of evidence. The judge still ordered a punishment and I made an appeal in Ajman. I have submitted my defense paper already. How should I tell the judge about this that they are telling lies only?
