Fraud and breach-of-trust accusation in the UAE

How we help with fraud and breach-of-trust accusation

• Evidence and document review

  Our review covers complaint or charge, transaction agreement, representations, entrustment instructions and payment or custody records. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

• Can an accused person’s lawyer attend the prosecution investigation?

  Article 98 of the Criminal Procedures Law provides for the accused’s lawyer to attend the investigation and inspect its papers, subject to the prosecutor’s decision in the interest of the investigation. Give counsel the case reference and summons promptly so attendance and access can be requested at the relevant stage. This does not promise unrestricted access to every police or prosecution record. Identify how the property was obtained, what was represented or authorised and the later conduct challenged. Fraud and breach-of-trust allegations may involve different elements. Build a transaction chronology and separate the accused person's role from the actions of other participants.
