Dubai Police on Sunday announced the dismantling of an international criminal gang that used fake businesses as a front to transfer money from stolen bank cards.
The gang, caught by the Anti-Fraud Centre at the General Department of Criminal Investigation, registered fake commercial entities to mislead regulators and banks.
These fakes served as a cover for carrying out unlawful financial transfers, aimed at concealing the source of the stolen funds.
Specialised teams monitored the gang closely to uncover their methods. The gang members have now been arrested and referred to the judicial authorities.
Dubai Police said that this case reflects its readiness to confront organised fraud and protect the financial and economic system from illegal practices.
The force also urged both individuals and institutions to stay alert and report any suspicious activity through the Police Eye service, or by calling 901.

Create and maintain a strong bond between yourself and your child, through sensitivity, responsiveness, touch, talk and play. “The bond you have with your kids is the blueprint for the relationships they will have later on in life,” says Dr Sarah Rasmi, a psychologist.
Set a good example. Practise what you preach, so if you want to raise kind children, they need to see you being kind and hear you explaining to them what kindness is. So, “narrate your behaviour”.
Praise the positive rather than focusing on the negative. Catch them when they’re being good and acknowledge it.
Show empathy towards your child’s needs as well as your own. Take care of yourself so that you can be calm, loving and respectful, rather than angry and frustrated.
Be open to communication, goal-setting and problem-solving, says Dr Thoraiya Kanafani. “It is important to recognise that there is a fine line between positive parenting and becoming parents who overanalyse their children and provide more emotional context than what is in the child’s emotional development to understand.”
