Criminal Case in Dubai and Abu Dhabi
Criminal Case
Criminal cases prosecute individuals for violating criminal law, and the convicted party can appeal to a higher court. Both the defendant and the prosecution have the right to appeal.
Arrest
An arrest usually occurs when law enforcement officers have probable cause to believe that a person has committed a crime.
Extradition
Extradition is the legal process where individuals accused or convicted of a crime in one country are surrendered to another for trial or punishment, often involving the issuance of a Red Notice (Interpol).
