Cyber crime,answered in hours.

Cyber crimes in Dubai are reported through the Dubai Police e-Crime platform, the Dubai Police app or at a police station; other emirates have equivalent channels, and serious matters proceed to the Public Prosecution. A well-prepared complaint, with a chronology, screenshots, transaction records and account identifiers, materially improves the speed of freezes and the quality of the investigation. We prepare and file the complaint with you and follow it through.

Sometimes, and speed is decisive. Bank and payment-rail freezes are most effective within hours of the transfer, while exchange and mule-account freezes can succeed within days if the right requests reach the right institution. Recovery becomes progressively harder once funds are layered across borders, which is why we open UAE and India channels in parallel from day one. We are candid at the outset about realistic prospects.

Federal Decree-Law No. 34 of 2021 provides for imprisonment and fines that scale with the offence: unauthorised access, data theft, electronic fraud, forgery of electronic documents, impersonation, extortion and online defamation each carry their own ranges, with aggravated penalties where government, banking or health data, or minors, are involved. Deportation may follow conviction for non-citizens. Exact exposure depends on the facts, which is why early legal advice matters.

Yes. This is the core of our practice. We file in both jurisdictions, coordinate Cyber Cell and e-Crime investigations, use mutual legal assistance and Interpol channels where appropriate and work with registered UAE advocates and enrolled Indian counsel so that the file is run as one matter, not two.

Do not pay, do not delete anything and do not engage further. Preserve every message, profile URL, payment demand and screenshot with timestamps. Contact us: we issue takedown requests to platforms, preserve evidence to an admissible standard, and file criminal complaints while protecting your identity through the process.

Payment of ransom is not itself criminalised under the UAE Cybercrime Law, but concealment of the underlying offence can be, and sanctions exposure arises where the recipient is a designated person. Regulated entities also carry notification duties to the UAE Data Office, CBUAE or sector regulators. Any decision to pay must be taken with counsel, forensic advice and regulator strategy aligned.

Yes. Cyber prosecutions frequently rest on IP attribution, shared devices, screenshots without metadata or misunderstood technical evidence. We review the forensic record, brief registered advocates for the courtroom, address travel bans and bail, and where appropriate engage independent forensic experts.

Everything, unaltered: bank and wallet transaction records, emails with full headers, chat exports, screenshots showing URLs and timestamps, device logs, and any correspondence with the platform or bank. Do not attempt to contact the suspect or 'test' the platform further. We will tell you what to send and how to secure it.
