Video: Dubai Unlocked: How To Investigate Property Ownership in a Money Launderer’s Paradise

In recent years, Dubai has emerged a leading international financial center and, in doing so, has become a haven for financial criminals, including fraudsters, money launderers, narcotics traffickers, and corrupt politicians. Fueled by a new leak of property records, 'Dubai Unlocked' is an investigative project involving more than 70 media outlets around the globe that shines the brightest light yet on the owners of real estate in the jurisdiction. This session will discuss the project's damning findings and show investigators how to access and analyze the project's data to uncover who owns what in the jurisdiction.

This session will be followed by an informal workshop in a separate room for those who want to know more and have a hands-on learning experience. The workshop will occur in the Reynolds Suite on Floor/Level -1 after lunch.
