After the amount had been deducted from his account, the victim learned that he was a victim of fraud and consequently filed a lawsuit against the defendant, who was convicted of embezzlement.

Under the lawsuit he filed, the plaintiff requesting the court to obligate the defendant to pay him Dhs51,000 as the value of the financial claim plus a compensation for the material and psychological harm he sustained and settle the incurred fees and expenses.

As evidence of his lawsuit, the plaintiff submitted photocopies of the referral decision from the Alternative Dispute Resolution Department and the verdict issued in a previous lawsuit in which the defendant was convicted in absentia and fined Dhs30,000.
