Specifically, a company initiated legal proceedings against an individual who had previously been employed by it. The final requests made by the plaintiff were limited to a ruling obliging the defendant to return the sums he had embezzled, amounting to Dhs128,966. The plaintiff also requested the costs of issuing a consulting report detailing the sums embezzled, legal interest at a rate of 5 per cent from the date of the lawsuit until full payment, and fees, expenses, and attorneys’ fees.
