UAE Uncovered: The New Ground Zero for Financial Crime
Wren
Behind the United Arab Emirates' gaudy exterior is a not-so-pretty side.
This session will look at evidence that the UAE, particularly Dubai, has become a popular jurisdiction with investment fraudsters, oligarchs, sanctioned politicians, and money launderers, whom the country appears to welcome with open arms.
Speakers include investigative journalists who will present evidence of crooks purchasing property (and explaining how to investigate UAE property ownership), a British licensed insolvency practitioner who was prevented from leaving the UAE for three months after a British criminal defendant whose assets he was investigating filed a complaint against him, and a Deutsche Bank whistleblower who was targeted by the Dubai authorities after she blew the whistle on a massive money laundering scheme.
