Dubai Police extradite two international crime suspects to France in 2025
The Force apprehended the suspects after international red notices were issued, as they appeared on the wanted lists of INTERPOL and the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol).
Dubai Police stated that the wanted individuals have been handed over to French authorities as part of their ongoing efforts to combat crime under the Ministry of Interior, in cooperation with the Dubai Public Prosecution, to ensure that all legal and judicial measures are taken.
INTERPOL Red Notice suspects handed over by Dubai Police to French authorities
The handover follows the International Cooperation Department of the UAE Ministry of Justice receiving international arrest warrants for the suspects, which is the central authority for handling international cooperation requests.
With this extradition, the total number of wanted individuals handed over to France by Dubai Police in 2025 rises to ten.
These individuals are involved in international crimes, including murder, leading criminal organisations, money laundering, armed robbery, and drug trafficking.
Dubai Police confirmed that this extradition aligns with their commitment to strengthening cooperation and collaboration with law enforcement agencies worldwide.
Their objective is to combat transnational organised crime in all forms and establish a global security framework focused on crime prevention and the exchange of security practices, ultimately enhancing community safety and security.
'The search and investigation teams, alongside the raid units and specialised divisions within the General Department of Criminal Investigation, successfully apprehended all wanted individuals shortly after receiving the red notices. This success was achieved through dedicated field efforts and the application of advanced technology at the Data Analysis Centre, which enabled precise tracking, location identification, and ultimately ensured their handover to justice,' the Force said in a statement according to the Emirates News Agency (WAM).

Dubai Police foil scam offering 70 per cent discounts on traffic fines
Dubai Police have arrested suspects over a scam offering fake discounts of up to 70 per cent on traffic fines. The group lured victims by offering the discounts in fraudulent advertisements on social media platforms, police allege. The scammers then used stolen credit and debit card data to pay off the fines in full, and charged the victims the 'discounted' rate in cash. 'They were meeting the victims personally, collecting the money in cash and paying the full amount of traffic fines using the stolen cards,' said Dubai Police in a statement. 'They illegally obtained the discounted amounts after the victim received confirmation of completing the payment.' The force did not specify the number of suspects, their nationalities or the number of victims. 'It is a double crime combining stealing bank details and financial fraud,' the police spokesperson said. Police said if someone is aware stolen credit cards are being used to pay their fines, they are also committing a crime. Stay vigilant Officials at the anti-fraud section of Dubai's CID warned the public to stay alert and not be deceived by similar fake promotions. 'There are official channels to pay the traffic fines. Unverified offers of discounts [are] a crime punishable by the law in the UAE,' said the spokesperson. Last month, Emirates airline said it was suspending its social media advertising to protect customers from the growing nuisance of online scams. The Dubai-based carrier said it acted in response to 'fraudulent advertisements currently circulating across social media platforms' that claim to be from Emirates. The company warned that cybercriminals were impersonating its official website by using branded visuals, unauthorised trademarks and links closely resembling those belonging to Emirates. Such phishing scams are created to lure customers into paying out for tickets, sharing personal information or following malicious links. Emirates said it is working with social media platforms to have the fraudulent advertising removed.

New fines and ways to pay in Abu Dhabi: All the recent rules
If you find yourself doing something careless while driving, parking or throwing out your rubbish in Abu Dhabi, there could be a fine out there with your name on it. But don't panic – we've rounded up the latest laws, limits and updates (breathe, some are optimistic) so you don't end up forking out your entire year's rent—or more—after one moment of breaking the rules. Here's your no-fuss, full-drama rundown of what's new (and what could cost you a fortune) on the streets of the capital. Run a red light? That'll be Dh50,000 Abu Dhabi has had enough of drivers playing around at intersections. The government has reminded drivers who run a red light that they could be waving goodbye to more than their no-claims bonus. Under Law No. 5 of 2020, you'll get: A Dh50,000 fine 30-day vehicle impoundment 12 black points And if your car isn't claimed in 3 months it will be sent to auction Throw in jail time if the violation causes a fatal accident – especially if you were texting, racing, or just driving recklessly. Time Out Tip: Amber means slow down, not floor it. Hit and run? That'll be Dh100,000 New UAE-wide traffic laws just dropped – and they are not playing around. If you're in an accident and think you can just scoot off quietly? Think again. Drivers now have just three hours to report an accident (big or small). Fail to do that and you're looking at: Up to one year in jail A fine of Dh50,000 to Dh100,000 Or both And no, you can't just roll into your neighbourhood garage – you need an official repair permit first. Valid excuses include actual injury or no mobile signal, but you'll need receipts (i.e. medical reports and witness statements). You can now pay fines early and save Good news for the mildly irresponsible among us: Abu Dhabi Police are now rewarding early birds with a 35 percent discount on traffic fines if you pay within 60 days. If you miss that you can still snag 25 percent off if you settle within a year. And yes, there are digital payment options, instalment plans and app-based solutions – so no, you don't need to queue anywhere. If you've spotted the campaign on petrol station screens recently, that's Abu Dhabi Police giving you a gentle nudge while you refill your tank and regret yesterday's U-turn. TAMM app now accepts appeals for certain fines Abu Dhabi's fines don't stop at the highway. If you've been pinged for improper waste disposal, dodgy landscaping, or letting your villa look like a haunted house – you can now appeal directly through the Tamm app. Here's the deal: You have one week to appeal It's free, fast and paperless You'll need to prove you fixed the issue Inspectors will check if you're bluffing. If you are? That fine could double So, stay in your lane – literally and legally. Abu Dhabi is all about smart cities, safer roads and way less nonsense. So whether you're in a Bentley or a battered Yaris, the rules are the same: report it, pay it, or fix it – or risk your car becoming government property.
