Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Knowledge Pack — Criminal Procedure in the UAE

## Scope

This pack covers the UAE criminal procedure framework and the key substantive criminal laws relevant to commercial practice and individual conduct. UAE criminal law is a hybrid system: civil-law influenced code, overlaid with Islamic law for certain offences, with separate common-law regimes in DIFC and ADGM (civil only — no criminal jurisdiction in the free zones). This pack covers:

- Primary legislation
- Court structure
- Investigation, arrest, and detention
- Right to counsel
- Trial procedure
- Key substantive offences relevant to business
- DIFC/ADGM criminal jurisdiction distinction
- Practical guidance

## Primary legislation

|---|---|
| **Penal Code** (Federal Law 3/1987 as amended) | General criminal offences; most commercial crimes |

| **Federal Decree-Law 34/2021** (Combating Rumours and Cybercrime) | Cybercrime; digital offences; replaced 2012 cybercrime law |
| **Federal Decree-Law 20/2018** (AML/CFT) | Money laundering and terrorist financing offences |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thomasmoreai/legal-skills-open/kb-criminal-procedure-uae-sboghossian@sha256:ca16676363949150

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
