Fraudulent changing of the manager and appropriation of shares
Q: Salam Alaikum, I need your help to solve my issue. We have started one tourism company in Sharjah Media City free zone in Jan 2018. I was a 20% shareholder. But in the month of Nov, my other partner came and asked me to remove my name as a manager from the license because he has some money in KSA and will bring to Dubai and then through this company will transfer to Japan. He will remove my name from the bank and then he can do this. I agreed verbally. But now I came to know that he transferred my shares to his name. But still, I am receiving the du bills under my name. The guarantee cheques issued under my signature. We are operating a cruise in Deira. The contract is under my name. for the last 1 year, I have not received any money for my shares. Immigration card still has my name. 2 days ago, one guy from that partner filed a complaint in Naif Police that I am not the partner and they want me not to come to the cruise. The cruise agreement is under my name and company name with my signature. Kindly help me in this regard.

Customs problem with a shipment of medication
Q: I was called from Emirates Post to pick up a delivery at the Customs. As the customs opened the package, it turned out that medication was inside. I didn`t order or initiate the delivery of any medication and hence should`ve been asked to discard the delivery as no sender was mentioned. Instead, the Customs forwarded the item to the Ministry of Health for their assessment. Now, the Ministry of Health is requesting me to meet their doctor to evaluate why I need this medication. Again, I didn`t order or initiate the delivery of medication and don`t need any. Kindly advise what shall I do in this matter as I am afraid that the medication could contain banned substances.Apr 17, 2019
