Advice and assistance at foreign police stations is provided on an emergency basis IN THE UAE – DUBAI as well as pre-arranged surrender and voluntary attendance. Foreign arrest and detention significantly differ from arrest in the UK. Authorities are often reluctant to release foreign nationals as there is a significant chance that the individuals will leave the jurisdiction upon release and are considered a flight risk. This often leads to detained persons being taken to prison until the conclusion of investigations which can be for significant amounts of time. Having worked for the various prosecuting authorities internationally Ismael Uddin can provide in-person attendance to assist in release on bail as well as assisting in the preparation, and formal interviews by the authorities. Working with local professionals and partners is crucial at the earliest stages ensure that the investigations are conducted quickly and efficiently affording the best opportunity for detained person release.

NEW: The gleaming cityscape of Dubai has become a haven for the world’s wealthy — and most wanted. A global investigative project led by OCCRP and E24.no reveals how the luxurious Emerati city has opened its doors to unscrupulous characters from around the world. Thanks to leaked property data obtained by C4ADS, 140 journalists across 74 media outlets have identified scores of real estate owners in Dubai who are accused of criminality, including alleged drug traffickers, money launderers, and terrorism financiers. For instance, we found property owned by: 🇦🇺 Alleged Australian drug cartel members 🚩 Sanctioned Hezbollah financiers 🛢 Relatives of West African politicians suspected of looting funds from their oil-rich countries Some live in Dubai, others gather rents from afar. All come for the high-dollar properties. “What's truly intriguing about the UAE is that it's a gathering point and a point of connection. Organized crime groups don't go and conduct violent crime in UAE,” said John Coyne, an analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute who served as a senior intelligence officer in the Australian Federal Police. “What they do is they go there for business deals. They go there to launder money.” Over the coming days, reporters will publish a series of investigations. But first: take a tour of Dubai to see who we found there — and what drew such individuals to the city in the first place: https://lnkd.in/eiw9HUbv #moneylaundering #realestate #Dubai #UAE #GCC #enablers #finance #corruption #cartels #crossborder #lawenforcement #sanctions #ownership

🔥 New and extensive The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project report on illicit wealth and criminals hiding out in the UAE. 🌍 The UAE was added to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Grey List in March 2022 and after extensive work and technical progress were removed from the grey list in April 2024. BUT 🙊 The worst kept secret is that UAE is a destination country for criminals and wealth looking for a hiding spot. I recall several years ago when I was managing law enforcement investigations we regularly tracked vast amounts of wealth moving to UAE, and staying there.... especially into real estate. Yes, the UAE financial sector and government have taken huge strides in strengthening their controls and legislation but more needs to be done to deal with, seize and recover the vast amounts of criminal wealth locked up in assets in UAE. Additionally there must be greater cooperation with international law enforcement to extradite, prosecute and imprison those criminals who see UAE as a safe haven. 💰 UAE is not alone and there are other source and destination countries where more needs to be done but the scale of inbound wealth to UAE is estimated to be vast. ☯️ As is stated, and a very interesting point. UAE is a very safe country with a low crime rate, but houses a number of powerful criminals and leaders of crime groups. These leaders likely control their empires from UAE but have no physical operations there as they have lieutenants overseas running day to day operations. 🛑 We can only stop financial crime if we create a deterrent for the criminals, this is seizing their assets and/ or prosecution. From the video in the report, they are living their best life without a care in the world. Technology used in processes such as KYC and Transaction Monioring help but most of all we need information sharing and cooperation, across both public and private sector... internationally, with no 'safe zones'! there is more to come.... watch this space #niceactimize #financialcrime #ocg #moneylaundering #illicitwealth #bestthecriminals #AML #informationsharing #publicprivatepartnerships

Karachi: In a significant operation, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has arrested a resident of Lahore outside the US Consulate in Karachi for attempting to obtain a US visa using forged documents linked to a cricket club. The accused, whose identity has not been disclosed, was reportedly seeking a visa based on these fraudulent documents when authorities intervened. According to sources, the individual had acquired the fake paperwork from an agent named Sajjad, for which he settled matters for a sum of 32,000 UAE dirhams, equivalent to approximately 450,000 Pakistani rupees. Upon questioning, the accused failed to provide satisfactory responses regarding the legitimacy of the documents he presented. The FIA's swift action underscores the agency's commitment to combating visa fraud and ensuring the integrity of the visa application process. Further investigations are underway to uncover more details about the agent and any potential network involved in such fraudulent activities. #FIA #arrests #man #outside #US #consulate #Karachi #visa #fraud #new #Takes #historic #247newsupdates
