Joint security and crime-fighting efforts and cooperation between the Dubai Police's General Department of Criminal Investigation and the UK's equivalent authorities led to the arrest of drug kingpins and seizures worth 2.5 billion pounds, equivalent to Dh12.19 billion.
As many as 2,974 valuable security tips and information were exchanged in the Dubai Police's joint work with UK law agencies such as the National Crime Agency (NCA) and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). Two international crime-busting operations also resulted from the cooperation, in the past three years; one involved the arrest of 12 international suspects and seizure of 1.4 tonnes of cocaine.
The security bodies of both countries exchanged 620 security tips through a British liaison officer, arrested 75 suspects in several drugs cases and seized over 1.8 tonnes of narcotics in other cases.
Major-General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of the Dubai Police, noted that the UAE has a clear record in combating organised crime - particularly money-laundering crimes - according to Financial Action Task Force (FATF) reports. "The UAE has criminalised money laundering of through Federal Law No. 4 of 2002 and its amendments in 2014, and established a set of standards and mechanisms to prevent and fight such crimes," the police official added.
