Dubai has been pretty aggressive towards international criminals. I’ve heard some people from France and US being jailed for months and deported with foreign police agents on drug trafficking, internet scams, ponzi schemes etc. I guess it mainly depends on the citizenship country or place you commited the crime..

I was aware that there are many people in Dubai hiding from tax authorities, but I didn't know that criminals in other industries also stay there and conduct their activities from Dubai.

It's ironic how 60 Minutes Australia criticizes Dubai for being a haven for money launderers, when the money originates from Australia itself. In the UAE, and in many countries in that area, it's the sender country's responsibility, in this case, Australia, to provide proof.

The money isn't from places like Seychelles or Belize, which might raise suspicions.

Recently, UAE authorities have become very strict on criminals; a tip to Dubai's Al Ameen service can prompt swift action. It seems these biased clown-ish journalism overlooks these efforts.

It's nothing new to be fair.

Look at some friends from Ireland, Kinahan, morrocan friends from Netherlands.

More or less everyone with some sort of "power" in this "business" was / is living in UAE.

I personally know some people with EU Warrants living peacefully in UAE.

Things go south when you get an Interpol warrant, or media / international pressure get's too big. E.G Raffaele Imperiale

FUN FACT: Christopher Kinahan was even actively posting "Google Reviews" with him being clearly visible while been on the hideout in UAE

These 'journalists' often aim to deflect responsibility, painting a skewed picture. They accuse others of 'facilitating' criminal activity, conveniently ignoring the fact that such activities aren't conducted on UAE soil. If their enterprises were based in the Middle East, UAE authorities would likely handle them far more effectively than their counterparts in the EU or Australia. There is a reason these crime bosses become domesticated once they are in the Middle East.

Instead of casting blame, they should investigate their own government for corruption and crimes.

UAE gets a tip to arrest some criminal. They go ahead and arrest that person (sometimes even make a nice PR video). Now they have their "golden fish" and they try to get something in return from the country that is asking for that person to be extradited. If they don't get anything what they want - they simply release the criminal. This is how they work. It's a win-win situation for them.

And regarding the Australia, if someone smuggles tons of drugs there, sells it for cash - he now has tons of cash. He can either smuggle that out of the country in hard cash or deposit that somehow to bank accounts and transfer it out and in this case it's already money laundering happening there in their country. In both cases it's their problem as they are unable to stop this from happening in front of their eyes.

Australia started as a penal colony after all.

 

[Simon4466]

Yeah still a lot of criminals in Dubai I can imagine, but from what I heard Turkey is the new place to be.

Thailand managed to get an extradition of the stark fraudsters

San Marino…

Going by their Goverment actions - it never ceased to be one

Generally you don’t need to smuggle anything

Ledgers are the basis of the monetary system

Shadow bank in A takes X
Shadow bank in Y gives X

With the unipolar world this will become much easier for such as they won’t have oversight like they currently do in return for the US capital markets ($ for Eurodollar debts).

You will have competing systems

Western CBDC
BRIC CBDC (proxy for alternative to western)
Crypto

Crypto will be allowed to exist as either party will need it for their intelligence recruiting and overseas asset placement.

CRS will become problematic as it can be utilized to uncover overseas assets - state assets / personnel.

Digital ID will be problematic as it will lead to burning off assets and no easy re-deployment elsewhere. - Russia learned this half their intel apparatus has been wiped out on multi-sharing of Biometrics.

We are returning to a form of 80s free-for-all arbitraging

Lots of opportunity when there is arbitraging (white, grey, black)

This... or they'll wait until you leave and ban you from entering forever. It's rare and you really have to piss them off, but it happens.

Again -> not suggesting anyone does anything criminal in nature.

But highlighted in this (watched this morning).

This is the bustling growth shadow banking system.

Naturally, as rules/regs tighten growth in these underground banking systems will grow, and especially in a uni-polar world.
