If the complainant closed the case, why is the police investigation still ongoing?

Hi,

I have had a criminal case in Dubai since April 2024.

The complainant closed the case, but the police continue the investigation.

Dear Client,

Thank you for sharing the details of your case!

Please note that even if the complainant has closed or withdrawn the complaint, the police and Public Prosecution in Dubai may continue their investigation if they consider it necessary.

The authorities have the discretion to proceed with the case based on the evidence and the nature of the alleged offense.

I recommend closely monitoring the progress of the investigation and, if you have not done so already, engaging a qualified lawyer who can liaise with the police and Public Prosecution on your behalf to protect your rights and seek clarity on the status of the case.

If you would like, I am available to assist you with legal representation and to help you navigate the process efficiently.

Please let me know how you wish to proceed.

Best regards,
