Dubai as a Criminal Haven

  • Dubai became a haven for criminals due to its lax taxation, ease of real estate purchase, and initially nonchalant relationship with foreign law enforcement.
  • This attracted criminals seeking refuge and a high quality of life, turning Dubai into a hub for meetings and operations.
  • Ironically, while overlooking other criminal activities, Dubai authorities cracked down on the sale of encrypted phones.
  • This dynamic shifted recently as Dubai began cooperating more with international law enforcement, extraditing criminals and changing its reputation.
  • The FBI's operation involving Anom highlighted this shift, demonstrating increased international collaboration in law enforcement.
