Dubai Police tackles 500 money laundering cases in three years

Dubai Police successfully addressed 500 money laundering cases from 2022 to 2024, underscoring their vital role in the UAE’s efforts to combat organized and transnational crime.

Working closely with international law enforcement agencies, these efforts have led to investigations involving over AED 4 billion, including AED 60 million in virtual assets.

Lieutenant General Abdulla Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, highlighted that these accomplishments reflect the UAE’s ongoing commitment to fighting money laundering and strengthening global partnerships to tackle financial crimes.

Al Marri also emphasized the importance of strategic coordination and human resource development in the success of Dubai Police’s efforts.

The force collaborates with national and international partners through the UAE National Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism and Illegal Organisations Committee.

To enhance its team’s expertise, Dubai Police have also launched the International Diploma in Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing in partnership with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.

The programme has trained 116 professionals from various national organizations.

Dubai Police have also shown exceptional commitment to intelligence sharing, exchanging 1,733 financial crime-related files with international partners in the past three years.

These exchanges have been facilitated through key organizations such as INTERPOL, Europol, and regional networks.

Additionally, Dubai Police have signed multiple Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with global counterparts to strengthen cooperation in law enforcement.
