Dubai court acquits manager accused of embezzling Dhs6.3 million

Dubai's Misdemeanor Court acquitted a company manager accused of embezzling Dhs6,230,000 from the company's funds and rejected the related civil lawsuit.

The case arose after two company partners accused the manager, who oversaw the firm's management and finances, of taking money through withdrawals and other financial irregularities between 2018 and 2024. They also sought temporary civil compensation of Dhs51,000.

During the proceedings, the court appointed an accounting expert to examine the company's accounts and documents. The review concluded that the transactions under accusation appeared in the company's books and in the partner's current account.

The expert also found that amounts linked to profit distributions were based on decisions signed by the complainants and their representatives. The court therefore found no evidence in the case papers proving that the manager had seized the funds or acted with an intention to embezzle them.
