Abstract:
The fight against money laundering
crimes has received international and local attention in the country, due to
the seriousness of the crime on the international and internal community, which
undoubtedly has many negative effects in economic, social and political terms,
and among the effects of money laundering crimes is the increase in crimes and
corruption, threatening economic stability and weakening financial
institutions. Through
regulatory and legislative applications, we find the tireless efforts of the
state in strengthening the legislative and regulatory system in combating money
laundering crimes and the prominent role of the state at the international and
national levels, and the UAE legislator has clarified that anyone who was aware
that the funds were obtained from a felony or misdemeanor and deliberately
transferred or transferred the proceeds or conducted any operation with the
intention of concealing or disguising their illegal source, or concealed or
disguised the truth of the proceeds, or their source, is considered a
perpetrator of the crime of money laundering. or its place, manner of disposal,
movement, ownership or rights thereof, or acquired, possessed or used the
proceeds upon receipt, or assisted the perpetrator of the predicate crime to
escape punishment.
