Abu Dhabi court rejects man's lawsuit seeking Dhs15,000 repayment in a cheating case
Abu Dhabi Family, Civil, and Administrative Cases Court dismissed a lawsuit filed by a man against another demanding the repayment of D15,000, along with additional fines. The plaintiff claimed that he had agreed with the defendant, who allegedly worked at a bank, to facilitate the approval of an Dhs800,000 loan with a monthly installment of Dhs6,040 over 25 years, in return for a commission of Dhs25,000. The plaintiff claimed that he transferred Dhs15,000 to the defendant in three installments, but the latter failed to complete the necessary procedures, did not secure the loan approval, and stopped responding to his communications. Upon investigating, the plaintiff discovered that the defendant was not employed by the bank, so he filed a criminal complaint against him. The court stated that the plaintiff's claims were unsupported by evidence and the case file lacked proof that the defendant had misappropriated the funds. Therefore, the court dismissed the lawsuit.

Abu Dhabi Court orders seven men to repay Dhs800,000 in investment scam case
The Abu Dhabi Family, Civil, and Administrative Cases Court has ordered seven men to return Dhs800,000 and pay an additional Dhs50,000 in compensation for damages incurred by the victim, after they seized his money under the pretext of investment. The victim filed a lawsuit against the seven men, demanding the return of Dhs800,000 with 12% annual interest from the date of the legal claim until full repayment. Additionally, he sought Dhs200,000 in compensation for material and moral damages. The plaintiff had previously filed a criminal case against the suspects for embezzling the Dhs800,000. The court issued a verdict in absentia, convicting the first, third, fourth, fifth, and seventh suspects and fining them Dhs20,000 each. The sixth suspect was fined Dhs300, while the second was sentenced to two months in prison. The eighth suspect was acquitted. The court also ordered the convicted suspects to pay court fees. The court noted that the suspects did not appeal the criminal verdict, rendering it final. It further stated that the criminal judgment established the suspects' unlawful possession of the plaintiff's money. As a result, the court ordered them to jointly repay the plaintiff Dhs800,000, along with Dhs50,000 in compensation for the material and moral damages incurred.
