Dear Customer,                                                        

Thanks for joining and trusting us, much appreciated!

We would like to inform you that if you purchase a car that violates the specifications and standards, you may file a complaint at the Public Prosecution and the UAE judiciary against the person from whom you purchased the car and ask to punish him and give you compensation for damage caused to you.

*** As for the legal principle of your case, it is a crime of fraud in accordance with the provisions of the UAE Penal Code and its penalty is imprisonment and a fine based on the text of Article 399, which stipulates the following:

Detention or a fine shall be imposed upon any one who seizes, for himself or for another, a movable property, or obtains a document or signature thereon, cancellation or destruction thereof or amendment thereto by fraudulent means, or by assuming a false name or capacity, where such an act leads to deception of a victim and leads him to surrender. The same punishment shall apply to anyone who disposes of real estate or movable property knowing that such a property is not owned by him or that he has no right to dispose thereof, or if he disposes of a thing knowing that it has been previously disposed of or contracted upon, provided that such acts cause damage to a third party.
