Residents in the UAE are being warned of strict penalties, including fines up to AED50,000 or imprisonment, for engaging in illegal money transfers associated with drug trafficking.
The reminder comes from the UAE Public Prosecution and is based on Article 64/1 of Federal Decree-Law No. 30 of 2021, which focuses on combating narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances.
This regulation applies to individuals who deposit, transfer, or receive funds connected to drug-related activities, whether done personally or through intermediaries. The initiative underscores the UAE’s commitment to combat illicit activities and maintain public safety.
