Contraband, Cross Border Co-Operation and a result in the UAE

I came across this article (please click on headline) which I believe warrants a couple of minutes of your time.

  1. It's a layering operation that has been spiked.
  2. The warrant issued praised cross-border co-operation, Europe, US and UAE.
  3. The arrest of 40 individuals in the UAE under the anti-money laundering. law for using hawala and money exchange routes for the illegal operation.
  4. $4.3 million is still a lot of money.

It does look as if the change in political will in the Middle East that occurred sometime ago is now really starting to bear fruit.


Do you agree?
