SANAA, Dec. 14 (YPA) – Dozens of criminals involved in murder, drug trafficking, extortion, money laundering and fraud fled from Israel to the UAE, recently, prior to the issuance of police arrest warrants against them, and began to launch commercial activities in Dubai.
According to the Israeli Channel 12, an Israeli police source said that some criminals who fled to Dubai were involved in smuggling 750 kilograms of cocaine from Guatemala, which was seized last month in the port of Ashdod in southern Israel, and another quantity from Belgium.
The police source explained that some of them came with false passports and others with Israeli passports, with the aim of laundering the money that they have hidden for years, adding: “It is true that there are no extradition agreements between Israel and the UAE, but we have our methods for deporting them and transporting them to Israel.”
According to information reported by the Israeli media, those who fled to Dubai are major criminals who until recently worked in Jaffa and Haifa, and some of them bought or entered into partnerships, including apartments and souvenir shops, and acquired local resident status.
“Other criminals who recently came to Dubai bought gold and diamonds, and sold the goods to businessmen in other countries so that the Israeli police and the tax authority would not follow them,” the report said.
One of those Israeli criminals, who visited Dubai about 10 days ago and met some of the top criminals who fled to the UAE, said: In Dubai, unlike Israel, investors are not asked where the money comes from.
The criminal continued, “They don’t ask you many questions there. Do you have money? Come invest and be a partner. It happens because it is one of the richest countries in the world. I am talking about millions of dollars that are flowing from Israel to Dubai through people running legal businesses in the country. ”
On the other hand, the channel indicated that, in addition to the criminals who fled from Israel, Israeli criminals who were fleeing in Romania, Ukraine and South Africa recently arrived in Dubai to discuss establishing partnerships in building housing projects in the UAE.
