The Accusation

Sometimes, a commercial dispute can turn into a criminal accusation that shakes a person's entire life. Our client suddenly found himself at the center of a major legal storm when six individuals filed complaints accusing him of breach of trust.

The allegations were serious: misappropriation of financial amounts totaling AED 1,715,000, paid for the import of vehicles from abroad. The documents on their face showed that substantial financial transactions had indeed taken place, making the case far from simple.

Nevertheless, a deeper truth was clear to us: the relationship between the parties was not a criminal trust relationship, but rather a commercial contractual relationship based on the supply of vehicles.

Our Investigation Approach

From the very first moment, our legal team handled the case with a meticulous and methodical approach:

  • Reviewed all documents, receipts, and correspondence related to the transactions

  • Analyzed the nature of the financial transactions to understand their true character

  • Verified the partial delivery of some vehicles as evidence of performance Demonstrated that any delay — if present — was due to logistical reasons related to shipping and supply

    • The Legal Defense

    Our office submitted a detailed defense memorandum clarifying the fundamental legal principles at stake:

  • Trust Contract Requirement: The crime of breach of trust is established only if it is proven that the money was delivered under one of the specific trust contracts exhaustively defined by law — which did not occur in this case

  • Absence of Bad Faith: It was never proven that the accused acted in bad faith or intended to add the funds to his own property

  • Civil Nature of Relationship: The relationship was commercial and civil in nature and did not rise to the level of a criminal offense

    • The Court's Decision

    After several hearings and a careful examination of the file and evidence, the court's ruling came clear and decisive:

  • No conclusive evidence of embezzlement

  • The relationship is purely commercial and civil

  • The elements of the crime of breach of trust are not established

    • Accordingly, the court ruled to acquit the accused of all charges, justice prevailed, and rights were restored to their proper place.

    Key Legal Principle

    This case carries important messages for everyone:

    • Not every financial dispute constitutes a crime: Commercial disagreements require civil remedies
    • Not every delay or failure in performance amounts to misappropriation: Business challenges are not criminal intent
    • The judiciary delivers justice when presented with solid legal defense: Evidence and law prevail over accusations
    • Trust contract specificity: Criminal breach of trust requires specific trust relationships defined by law
