However, the company breached its contractual obligations by failing to take any genuine steps to fulfill the agreement and refused to return the amount received, constituting a serious breach of contract and an act of fraud and unlawful appropriation of funds.
Our legal team promptly initiated the necessary proceedings, which included:
Filing a criminal complaint against the company and its responsible officers on charges of fraud, pursuant to the provisions of the UAE Federal Penal Code.
Filing a commercial lawsuit before the competent court to recover the disputed amount and claim compensation for material and moral damages.

Criminal conviction of the company for the crime of fraud.
Order to repay the full amount together with legal interest.
