Recovering an amount lended to investors with security cheques

Q: I had given a cash loan of 1.2 million to a restaurant owner in Dubai for 1 year, on a PDC security. They served me some profit for almost a year, and when the date of repayment came, he started giving me different dates. I bounced the cheques and complained in Dubai police, the police have opened a case and put a travel ban on the signing authority. While running out of the country, the lady who was the signing authority was arrested and sent to the police station and from there to the public prosecution. They used some links and skipped out of the country although the company and other partners are still in Dubai. Please advise me what should be done to recover the amount, as the signing authority ran away.

Filing cases on a customer for defaulting on payments

Q: I am into diesel trading business. One of my customers owes me AED 144,500. He issued me two cheques of 100,000 of each. He told us he had 10 heavy vehicles.

Protection from an accusation of theft by the employer

Q: I am the manager of a boutique retail store in Abu Dhabi. My company has not been earning money, details I am privy to due to the report I send to the owners, my boss. I know they considered filing bankruptcy last year when his loan application was denied. Now, my boss is suddenly accusing me of theft a week before my vacation. He says items are missing in the inventory. When I joined 2 years ago the inventory wasn`t complete, and when we changed the systems this year, items were not migrated properly. I suspect this is their way of regaining back loss, accusing me of theft. How do I protect myself?
