Legal Consequences of False Accusations and Forgery: Criminal Law in the UAE
Making a false claim in the UAE comes under the very provisions for ‘false accusations’ of the UAE Penal Code. In this article, we will discuss the treatment for false allegations or false accusations under UAE law and what the punishment will be for that.
Punishment under the federal Decree-Law No. 31/2021 on the Issuance of the Crimes and Penalties Law (the UAE Penal Code) is prescribed for making false reports to judicial or administrative authorities.
Violators can be faced with jail time, fines, or both. Courts in the UAE will consider false accusation cases regarding the perception of bad faith. Moreover, if the false claim results in the conviction of another person, the fabricator incurs the same penalty.
This can be punished under Article 324, for reporting false crime, accident, or risk to a judicial or administrative authority knowingly, with six months’ jail, a fine, or both. The forgery criminal law is also related to falsified documents or falsified evidence.

Penalties for False Accusations and Forged Evidence under UAE Criminal Law
Pursuant to Article 325, a person who, with malevolent and ill intent, makes false allegations before any judicial or administrative authority, accusing an individual of having committed an act requiring a criminal or administrative sanction.
Even where the allegation results in no criminal or disciplinary record, the accused is still liable. Besides, those who falsely create material evidence to accuse someone of committing a crime, or, with fraudulent intent, initiate legal proceedings against an innocent person, must be sentenced to imprisonment, a fine, or both.
The court shall impose both imprisonment and a fine if the alleged crime amounts to a felony. Also, if the false claim results in a conviction for a felony sentence, the penalty for the falsely accused shall be the same as the false accuser.
The same goes for filing a false claim with forged documents, as it attracts severe punishment under forgery criminal law. The Act provides that forging a document is altering the truth in the manner mentioned above with the intent to use it as a genuine document to cause harm.
