Financial Crime

Detained in Dubai: The Leading Legal Experts in Financial Crime Defence


The UAE’s legal landscape is unique, particularly in financial crime cases where accusations of fraud, embezzlement, bounced cheques, breach of trust, mortgage defaults, and general debt are alarmingly common. For individuals and businesses facing such allegations, the risks are high—swift legal action can mean the difference between financial ruin and securing justice. At Detained in Dubai, we provide expert criminal defense, strategic negotiations, INTERPOL prevention, and high-stakes financial litigation to protect our clients from wrongful prosecution and corporate sabotage.


In the UAE, financial disputes frequently escalate into criminal cases, often used as a weapon to force settlements, seize assets, or eliminate business rivals. Debt and bounced cheques, though typically civil matters in many countries, can lead to immediate criminal charges, travel bans, and detention in the Emirates. Similarly, breach of trust and embezzlement claims are often manipulated to exert pressure on individuals and corporate leaders, with devastating consequences. Our legal team specialises in challenging these cases, ensuring that clients receive fair treatment rather than falling victim to the misuse of the legal system.


Our expertise extends beyond the UAE, as financial disputes often spill into the realm of INTERPOL Red Notices, extradition requests, and cross-border litigation. We have successfully prevented wrongful extraditions and removed clients from INTERPOL’s database, exposing politically and financially motivated abuses of international law enforcement systems. Our involvement in high-profile cases, including those of Najib Khoury, Mohamed Haddad, André Gauthier, Khater Massaad, Jihan Quzma, Pancho Campo, and Safi Qurashi, demonstrates our ability to navigate complex legal battles, challenge unlawful detentions, and defend our clients against corporate and governmental misconduct. Additionally, our work in Quzmar v. Neil Gerrard, Dechert et al. has brought to light the misuse of legal mechanisms to target business leaders under the guise of financial crime.


With decades of experience, Detained in Dubai remains the premier choice for individuals and businesses facing financial crime allegations. Whether you are accused of fraud, facing unlawful detention, or battling an aggressive creditor, our team is committed to delivering powerful legal defense and strategic solutions to protect your rights, assets, and freedom.
