Questions & Answers
Will I be called again by the CID after closing the case in court if they arrest another suspect in the crime?
The case went from CID to police and from police station to public prosecution and finally from public prosecution to the court.
Is it possible that CID will call again for the same case if they detain another accused of the same crime after one month or they will add me also in the other case along with him?
Hello,
If new evidence or new suspects (in this case, the other accused individual) are identified after the case has already moved to Public Prosecution and court, the CID may be called in again to investigate further.
This could lead to new charges or additional suspects being involved. The CID would typically investigate the new suspect, and based on the findings, they may provide additional information to the Public Prosecution which can then lead to the case being amended or additional charges being added.
Dear Client,
Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.
It is possible for CID to call you again for the same case, even after it has been transferred to court.
This can happen if new evidence emerges or another accused is detained. CID may need additional information or clarification, especially if the case involves multiple defendants.
They might add you to a related case if they believe you're connected to the newly detained accused. The investigation process can be ongoing, and authorities have the right to pursue new leads as they arise.
If called again, it's advisable to cooperate with authorities, consider legal representation, and provide consistent, truthful information. Remember, the criminal justice process is complex, and different authorities may be involved at various stages.
Thanks & Regards,

Yes, it is possible that the CID could call you again for the same case even if it has progressed through the legal system (CID, police, public prosecution, court).
If new evidence emerges that implicates you further, or if the newly detained accused provides information that connects you more strongly to the crime, the CID may need to re-investigate your involvement.
If you need further clarification, you may ask.

If new evidence emerges connecting you to a different but related crime involving the detained individual, the CID could open a new case or add you as a co-accused in that separate investigation.
If you are contacted by the CID again, it is advisable to:
- Clarify the reason for their call or request.
- Consult with your legal representative to ensure your rights are protected during any further questioning or proceedings.

Under UAE law, if another accused is arrested in the same case, CID may reopen investigations, and you could be called if it is related to the original case.

Thank you for reaching out with your question.
In cases where an investigation has progressed from the CID to the police, and then to the public prosecution and court, it is generally not typical for the CID to reopen the investigation unless new developments occur.
However, if the CID detains another accused person after the initial investigation, it is possible that they may revisit the case to include the new information.
This could involve further questioning of individuals already involved, or the addition of new charges if relevant.
In your case, if the CID detains another person related to the same crime, they might ask to include you in the ongoing investigation, especially if new evidence emerges linking you to the crime.
The exact process will depend on the nature of the evidence and the decisions made by the public prosecution or the court.
To ensure that your rights are protected and to discuss the specifics of your situation further, I would recommend scheduling a consultation.

Dear S. A.,
CID Reopening the Case: If your case has already progressed from CID to the police, then to public prosecution, and finally to court, it’s generally unlikely that CID will reopen or revisit your involvement unless new evidence emerges that implicates you in the same crime significantly. They typically focus on new leads or evidence related to ongoing investigations.
Involvement with Other Accused: If another individual is detained for the same crime, the authorities can investigate that individual’s connections to previously addressed cases, including yours.
However, they would need substantial evidence linking you to any ongoing investigation to include you as an accused in the new case.
In summary, as long as there are no new developments or evidence that suggests your involvement, it is improbable for CID to call you regarding the same matter.
If you continue to have concerns or if the situation evolves, I recommend consulting with a legal professional who can provide specific guidance tailored to your circumstances.
Should you have further questions, please feel free to reach out.
