How do I file an e-crime complaint in Dubai?

In Dubai, online offences such as defamation, blackmail, hacking and electronic fraud are reported through dedicated e-crime channels. Dubai Police operate an eCrime platform, available online and through their app and website, where you can submit a complaint about a cybercrime, along with a police hotline for urgent cases. Before reporting, gather your evidence: screenshots, links, account names or numbers, transaction details and any messages, and avoid deleting the original content. When you submit the complaint, describe what happened clearly and attach the evidence. The matter is then reviewed and, where appropriate, referred to the Public Prosecution, which can investigate and pursue the offender under Federal Decree-Law No. 34 of 2021 on Combating Rumours and Cybercrimes. You can also report in person at a police station. Acting promptly helps preserve digital traces that may otherwise disappear. If your case is complex or you want help preparing the complaint and following it through, you can compare verified UAE legal professionals on LEXAI who handle cybercrime cases in Dubai.
