Brit Charged under UAE Cybercrime Laws for Publishing a Court Order on LinkedIn

Expat Entrepreneurs left in ruin by Dubai companies who never pay are then charged under Cybercrime laws for publishing court orders.


A British family man faces Dubai court next week because his brother published an official and publicly available court order on LinkedIn. His brother had shared the document to “prove the theft of funds”. Under the UAE’s strict cybercrime laws, social media posts have put Brits at risk of prison or substantial fines and almost every visitor to the country will be in violation of these vast and vague rules. The details of this case serve as a warning to investors and entrepreneurs considering a place in the sun for their next venture.
