UAE: Ras Al Khaimah man, wife jailed for framing business partner in drug case
In a calculated attempt to seize control of a thriving joint business, a man identified as "S.R." and his wife were sentenced to 10 years in prison each and fined Dh50,000 after conspiring to frame his Asian business partner for drug possession. The Ras Al Khaimah Criminal Court also sentenced the wife's brother, "A.A," to 15 years in prison and imposed a fine of Dh100,000 for his role in the crime. The incident detailed in Al Ain Al Sahira magazine, a monthly publication issued by the Ras Al Khaimah Police General Command, unfolded after S.R. and his partner launched a successful business venture that quickly began generating significant profits. Consumed by greed, S.R.'s wife encouraged him to find a way to remove his partner and take over the profits for themselves. S.R. then approached his brother-in-law, A.A., who was known to use drugs, and convinced him to procure a n arcotic substance. A.A planted the drugs in the partner's vehicle, and the conspirators filed a police report accusing him of possession. Anti-narcotics officers arrested the Asian partner after discovering the drugs during a vehicle search. However, initial drug tests showed the man had not consumed any substances, raising suspicions among investigators. Further questioning revealed that the partner had been in recent disputes with S.R, who had allegedly attempted to end their partnership. Upon being summoned and confronted by investigators, S.R. confessed to the plot, admitting that he had orchestrated the framing with the help of his wife and her brother. All three were referred to the judiciary and received their respective sentences. The case was cracked through the active efforts and investigative skills of the Ras Al Khaimah Police, who were able to uncover the truth and bring justice to the wrongfully accused.

UAE: Indian billionaire jailed, to be deported in money laundering case
A UAE court has sentenced Indian businessman Balvinder Singh Sahni popularly known as 'Abu Sabah,' and several others to five years in prison for their role in a major money laundering case involving an organised criminal group, Arabic daily Emarat Al Youm reported on Friday. The court also imposed a fine of Dh500,000 on each defendant, ordered their deportation after serving the sentence, and confiscated Dh150 million in illicit gains, along with computers, mobile phones, and other seized items. The court found the defendants guilty of laundering large sums of money obtained through criminal activities, using sophisticated methods to conceal the origin and movement of the funds. The verdict follows an investigation that revealed the defendants had set up a sophisticated money laundering operation using fake companies and suspicious bank transfers, the report said. The accused were charged with concealing or possessing assets suspected to have been obtained illegally, as well as running a money laundering racket through an organised group. Dubai Police referred the case to the Public Prosecution in December last year. The matter was transferred to the Criminal Court in January, where hearings began and culminated in yesterday's (Thursday) ruling. The case has now been moved to the Court of Appeal for further proceedings. Among those convicted are individuals tried in absentia and others who appeared in court, including three companies. Each of the corporate entities was fined Dh50 million. Authorities also ordered the confiscation of all criminal proceeds and evidence, including financial records, mobile devices, and electronic equipment. Investigators uncovered a broad network of financial activities tied to domestic and international partners. The accused allegedly used fictitious partnerships and front companies to obscure the origins of the illicit funds.
