What does it imply when public prosecution puts an arrest warrant and no travel ban?
Hello lawyers!
Please help me, what does it imply when public prosecution puts an arrest warrant and no travel ban?
Thank you in advance
Dear Questioner,
Thanks for your inquiry.
When public prosecution in the UAE issues an arrest warrant but no travel ban, it implies the following:
1. Arrest Warrant:
An arrest warrant indicates that the authorities have sufficient grounds or suspicion to believe that a crime has been committed, and they are seeking the individual’s arrest for questioning or trial.
The person who is the subject of the arrest warrant is considered a suspect or defendant in an ongoing investigation or criminal case.
The arrest warrant allows law enforcement agencies to detain the individual to ensure they face legal proceedings or to prevent them from evading justice.
2. No Travel Ban:
The absence of a travel ban means that the individual is not restricted from leaving the country. In other words, even though there is an arrest warrant for their detention, they are still free to travel abroad.
This could suggest that the authorities do not view the individual as a flight risk or that the investigation is still in the early stages, and the individual’s travel is not seen as a threat to the legal process.
It is also possible that the public prosecution has decided that travel restrictions are not necessary at the moment, and the person may be allowed to leave the country without fear of fleeing the jurisdiction permanently.
3. Implications of Both:
The arrest warrant could be an indication that the authorities are moving forward with the case and intend to apprehend the individual for legal proceedings.
The fact that there is no travel ban means the person may be allowed to leave the country temporarily (depending on their legal obligations), but they still need to deal with the legal situation when they return.
They are not considered an immediate threat to flee or avoid trial at this stage.
It's important to note that travel bans can still be imposed later during the course of the investigation or trial if the authorities believe the person may flee the jurisdiction.

Dear questioner
It is up to the authority to impose the arrest warrant without a travel ban however it implies that the authorities need to take the person into custody to investigate a potential crime or to ensure their presence in court.
Typically, travel bans are issued in cases involving serious crimes or when there's a risk of the person fleeing the country.

An arrest warrant without a travel ban in Dubai implies that the authorities believe there is sufficient evidence to justify your arrest and detention, but they do not consider you a flight risk.
This means you are free to travel within the UAE but could be arrested at any time. But there is a chance that any time a travel ban could be imposed on your name.
If you need further clarification, you may ask.
If you have a case or a criminal report, you must quickly investigate the matter to determine its causes.
Under UAE law, when the Public Prosecution issues an arrest warrant without imposing a travel ban, it means that there is an ongoing legal investigation, but no official travel restriction has been placed at this time.
Further actions may be taken depending on the progress of the investigation.
