Public Funds and Economic Crimes

Al-Radwan Law Firm for Legal Services, Consultancy and Arbitration – Mostafa Al-Nabi & Partners provides specialised legal representation in public funds and economic crime cases through a team experienced in complex criminal investigations, financial evidence, accounting records and reports issued by regulatory and technical authorities.

Public funds cases require particular care because they concern assets owned or managed by the State or public entities and may carry serious legal, financial and professional consequences. Effective representation therefore requires both criminal law expertise and the ability to analyse financial documents, contracts, accounts and expert reports.

Nature of Public Funds Cases

These matters often involve multiple parties, complex transactions and extensive documentary evidence. They may depend on accounting reports, public contracts, procurement procedures, bank records and financial movements.

Our role includes examining the legality of procedures, analysing financial and technical evidence, identifying the responsibility of each party and developing a defence strategy suited to the facts and procedural stage of the case.

Matters We Handle

Depending on the circumstances of each case, our services cover:

·         Embezzlement and misappropriation of public funds.

·         Facilitating the unlawful acquisition of public funds by third parties.

·         Wilful or negligent damage to public funds.
