What happens when a criminal case is referred to the public prosecutor?

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

When your criminal case is referred to the public prosecutor in Dubai, it means the prosecutor will investigate the case thoroughly.

They'll examine evidence and determine if there are sufficient grounds to prosecute. The prosecutor may conduct further investigations if needed.

If they find enough evidence, they'll prepare the case for trial and decide on the appropriate legal characterization of the offense.

The next steps typically involve the prosecutor filing charges and referring the case to the competent court.

You may be called as a witness if the case goes to trial. The timeline can vary depending on the case's complexity.

Remember, the prosecutor acts independently to represent society's interests and ensure justice is served.

Dear Questioner,

Regarding your inquiry about the recent referral of your case to the public prosecutor, I would like to provide you with some clarity on the next steps in the legal process.

When a criminal case is referred to the public prosecutor, this means that the case has moved beyond the police investigation stage and is now under the responsibility of the prosecutor's office.

The public prosecutor will review the case files, the evidence, and any statements made during the investigation.

Based on their review, the prosecutor will decide on the following:

- Further Investigation: If the prosecutor determines that additional evidence or witness statements are required, they may order further investigation.

- Filing Charges: If the prosecutor believes there is sufficient evidence to proceed, they will formally file charges and the case will move forward to trial.

- Dismissal: If the prosecutor concludes there is insufficient evidence, the case may be dismissed.

- Settlement/Alternative Resolution: In some cases, the prosecutor may explore opportunities for settlement or alternative dispute resolution, depending on the nature of the case.

Once the public prosecutor makes a decision on how to proceed, you will be informed. If charges are filed and the case proceeds to court, we will continue to assist you in the next stages of the legal process, including preparing for trial if necessary.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or need additional information.

In the UAE legal system, when a criminal case is referred to the Public Prosecutor, it means the police have completed their initial investigation and believe there is enough evidence to suggest a crime may have been committed.

Now the case is with the Public Prosecutor. They will review the case, investigate further if needed, and ultimately issue the verdict.
