Criminal, Fraud and Cybercrime

Lexorium acts on fraud, financial crime, cybercrime, and white-collar matters in Dubai and across the UAE. For victims seeking accountability and recovery, and for individuals defending against allegations that need to be answered at the right level.

• Fraud and financial crime cases (victim and defence)
• White-collar defence for executives and business owners
• Cybercrime under UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 34 of 2021
• Online scams, hacking, and business email compromise
• Defamation, blackmail, and digital reputation attacks
• Money laundering and AML compliance matters
• Bounced cheque criminal cases
• Travel ban applications, removals, and lifting
• Strategic use of criminal complaints alongside civil recovery

Criminal cases in the UAE start with a complaint to Dubai Police or the police of the relevant emirate. The file then moves to the Public Prosecution, which decides whether to refer it to the criminal court. The strategy across these three stages, police, prosecution, and court, is rarely the same. Each requires different handling. We supervise all three.
