"Cybercrime is the new-age crime-no masks, no fingerprints, but plenty of damage."

In today’s digital world, crime doesn’t just happen in dark alleyways anymore- it’s happening behind screens, inside email inboxes, and in the form of fake websites and online scams. And the truth is, cybercrime is no joke. It’s a fast-evolving threat that can cripple businesses, drain bank accounts, and destroy reputations.

So, when cyber fraud hits you in Dubai, who do you turn to? That’s where an experienced criminal lawyer in Dubai steps in- especially one with a sharp understanding of local cyber laws and international practices. And at Alqada Claim Recovery Services, we’re here to offer you more than just legal help—we’re your shield in the digital battlefield.

What is Cybercrime and Online Fraud, Anyway?

Let’s break it down simply. Cybercrime refers to any criminal activity that involves a computer, network, or digital system. This could include:

• Hacking into emails or company systems
• Online banking fraud
• Identity theft
• Phishing scams
• Credit card fraud
• Cyber extortion
• Social media impersonation

Online fraud, a big part of cybercrime, often involves tricking people into giving away their money, data, or passwords.

Fun fact: As per reports, the UAE saw a 250% increase in cyber-attacks during the COVID-19 pandemic- yes, hackers never take a break.

Cybercrime Laws in the UAE: What Does the Law Say?

Here’s where it gets serious- and specific.

The UAE has strong cybercrime legislation in place. The key regulation is Federal Decree-Law No. 34 of 2021 on Combating Rumors and Cybercrime. This law replaced the previous cybercrime law and widened the scope of digital offenses.

Under this law:

• Unauthorized access to any website or electronic system is punishable.
• Online fraud and impersonation can land perpetrators in jail or with heavy fines.
• Spreading fake news or defamation online is a crime.
• Even the misuse of VPNs for illegal purposes is criminalized.

Penalties can range from AED 100,000 to AED 1 million, and in some cases, up to 5 years in prison. And yes, digital evidence is fully admissible in UAE courts.

How a Criminal Lawyer in Dubai Handles These Cases

1. Understanding the Case from All Angles

The first job of a Dubai criminal lawyer is to understand every little detail of the case. Who was involved? What data was stolen? Was there financial loss? Was someone impersonated?

This involves speaking with victims, collecting online trails, screenshots, emails, logs-anything that forms a digital fingerprint.

"In the digital world, your footprints may be invisible-but they’re never gone."

2. Collecting Digital Evidence

Dubai courts require admissible digital evidence. That’s where a criminal lawyer works with cyber forensic experts to gather solid proof-IP addresses, server logs, email headers, device metadata, and more.

They also ensure that this evidence complies with UAE law and is gathered ethically. This is important because tampered or unlawfully obtained evidence can be rejected in court.

3. Filing the Legal Complaint

The lawyer prepares the official complaint with Dubai Police's cybercrime unit or Public Prosecution. This includes drafting precise charges under Decree-Law No. 34 of 2021, along with supporting documents and evidence.

The complaint may be filed in both civil and criminal courts, depending on whether you're seeking punishment, compensation, or both.

4. Coordinating with Authorities

A great lawyer doesn’t just wait around. They actively work with the Dubai Cyber Crime Department, Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA), and local prosecutors to move the case forward quickly and smoothly.

This helps in tracing the cybercriminals—whether they’re in the UAE or abroad. If needed, extradition processes may also be initiated.

5. Representing You in Court

Once the case reaches court, your lawyer presents the evidence, questions witnesses (if any), and fights tooth and nail to make sure justice is served. Whether it’s a company losing money through fake invoices or a person scammed via phishing-every case gets the full legal arsenal.
