Dispute re stolen money for PRO service

Q: Hi, I am in a dispute with someone who has stolen money on a pretence of offering a PRO service. The invoice and crime committed all originate in Dubai. I have told the assailant he needs to pay or I will raise a case against him and he moved to RAK recently where I found out where he lived and told him now I can make a court case. There are 20 other people I know he owes money to also. He reported me to RAK police for harassment and threats even though my only threats were to do a combined court case with 25 other people against him and I told him Dubai police or CID will come for him if I report him. I went to Dubai police station who told me that the whole issue is a Dubai issue and not to worry. What do I do? My number has changed from the one these crooks have so I don`t know if RAK police called or not.
