With its skyscrapers, luxury villas, and a high concentration of millionaires and billionaires, Dubai's rise to global city and business hub captured the world's attention.

It is one of seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates… an absolute monarchy long ruled by the Al Maktoum family.

The rapid development of the city has made it one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

But the Washington-based Center for Advanced Defense Studies has obtained leaked property data from the city state.

And it is found that those who make money out of wars, who finance terror, or are involved in drug trafficking use Dubai’s real-estate market as a haven for money laundering.

Presenter: Peter Dobbie

Guests:

Casey Kelso, Advocacy Director at Transparency International

Andreas Krieg, Assistant Professor at the Defense Studies Deptartment at King's College London

Laurent Lambert , SeniorPolicy Analyst at The Social and Economic Survey Research Institute at Qatar University

    Money laundering and black money not only in Dubai ... Look at the properties that belong to the Russians in London . And the Malaysian man who produced the film wolf of Wall Street he is the most wanted man in Malaysia and he lives in the US as a super star ... I'm not defending UAE but this matter is a global matter...

    A guy from london talking about money laundering...what a paradox
  • @mosafir5056
    The estimated value of 7000 properties owned by Pakistanis in Dubai is AED 35,000,000,000 or USD $9,529,000,000. This puts them on the top in the list of oversease buyers. This should never have happened.

    I wouldn't have believed this if it wasn't broadcast by Al Jazeera because I have a lot of friends who are in Dubai they use to complain about this issue but I taught they are not right!!
  • @shahinjamwal4425
    Money laundering is just not only n Dubai ,it's spread to all major financial capitals like Singapore , London,New York, Switzerland,Beirut,Manama
  • @beusda
    With little oil left they will gladly welcome a flow of capital, to become something similar to Singapore

  • There used to be explosions every week in Muqdisho before UAE was pressured and decided to leave now Muqdisho residents say market bombings left with UAE.

    Arrestation, nice new invention. I will stick to arrests, makes a lot more sense to me.
