The UAE has often grabbed headlines for allowing corrupt elites & money launderers safe haven. Despite recently being removed from FATF's ‘grey list’, addressing the Emirates’ role in facilitating cross-border corruption needs continued monitoring. anticorru.pt/2Yo

Last week, we published an open letter with Transparency International EU calling for the UAE to remain on the grey list.
