What Are Fraud & Breach of Trust in the UAE?

Fraud in the UAE means the use of deception, to obtain money or property unlawfully. Breach of trust means the misappropriation of money or property lawfully entrusted to a person.

Both of these are crimes under the Penal Code (Federal Decree-Law No. 31 of 2021). Cyber-enabled fraud is also a crime under the cyber law. Foreign nationals may face penalties ranging from imprisonment and fines to deportation.

The difference between the two often depends on how the property came into the hands of the accused. According to Dr. Hassan Elhais, Senior Legal Consultant, identifying whether a case is truly criminal or essentially a civil dispute is a key early question.
