Fraud and breach of trust lawyer in Riyadh for victims and the accused
A lot of money is lost because its owner trusted someone who did not deserve it: a transfer with nothing in return, a trust not returned, an investment promise not kept. The owner is left unsure between a criminal complaint and a civil claim, and the accused faces a description that may not fit what happened. We read the incident first and then decide the route.
When do you need this work?
When money is lost through deception, misappropriation of a trust or a transfer for nothing; when you are accused of any of these; and when you want to recover money handed to someone for a particular purpose and not returned.
Our scope
We handle fraud and breach of trust cases for the victim and for the accused, including those involving funds, partnerships, powers of attorney and transfers, together with any civil claim for recovery.
A crime or a civil dispute?
Not every financial incident is a crime; it may be a breach of contract. How the incident is characterised decides the competent body, the route and the evidence needed, so we characterise it properly before any step.
For the victim
We document the incident and the evidence, such as transfers, correspondence and contracts, prepare and follow the complaint, and consider a civil claim to recover the money, assessing what can actually be recovered.
For the accused
We read what is alleged and its evidence, prepare the defense, including denying the act or the intent or having it properly characterised, represent you at investigation and trial, and consider settlement and waiver where the law allows.
The limits of what we offer
We promise no outcome and no recovery of any sum; the result depends on the evidence, the facts and the law.
What you receive
Depending on scope: a reading and characterisation of the incident, documentation of the evidence, drafting of the complaint or defense memorandum, a claim for recovery, and representation before the competent bodies.
Next step
Send the transfers, contracts, correspondence and the sequence of facts, and say whether you are the victim or the accused. Do not delete anything before we have reviewed it with you.
Mistakes we see most often in this kind of matter
Deleting chats or receipts. They are the basis of proof, and deleting them may lose the right.
Handing over money with no document. An oral handover makes it hard to prove the trust and its purpose.
Contacting the other side in a way that harms the evidence. Messages may be used against you or change the characterisation.
Choosing the route before characterising the incident. A complaint in the wrong place or a claim at the wrong time wastes time.
Accepting a settlement without careful drafting. It may waive the right or leave an effect that only appears later.
How the work runs
- 01
Read the incident. We understand the facts and review the evidence.
- 02
Characterise it. We determine whether it is a crime or a civil dispute.
- 03
Act. Complaint, defense or claim.
- 04
Follow up. We follow the investigation, claim or recovery.
What we need to start
You do not need every document before you contact us, but having the following shortens the first assessment:
- Transfers and account statements
- Contracts or powers of attorney
- Correspondence and chats
- Any notice or summons
- The sequence of facts with dates
Frequently asked questions
Do you act for victims and for the accused?
Yes, though not for both sides of the same incident.
Should I file a criminal complaint or a civil claim?
It depends on how the incident is characterised, which we assess after reading the evidence.
Do you guarantee recovery of the money?
No. The outcome depends on the evidence and the facts.
Can I settle?
The law may allow settlement or waiver in some cases, and we explain what applies to yours.
