Dubai Police and the UAE Ministry of Interior started the operation after INTERPOL sent out a red notice that listed the suspect as one of China’s top wanted people. Authorities said the person, who was not named, managed a big criminal group that made millions and operated several fake online gambling sites. Investigators reported these sites told people they could do real bets, but the true purpose was to make large illegal earnings.
Law officers claimed this group reached into many different legal areas and took advantage of weak global rules to hide what they did and where the money went. Before arresting the suspect, UAE and Chinese police worked together, shared information and watched closely for a period. After getting caught, the suspect went through the UAE legal rules for sending people to other countries before Beijing received him. According to the Ministry of Interior, this situation shows the UAE is ready to fight crimes that cross borders.
China’s Ongoing Fight Against Illegal Gambling
China says stopping illegal online betting is a main goal for security because it causes heavy financial and social problems. These groups also often get connected to things like fraud, cybercrime, and taking money without rules. Officials in the UAE repeated that their country sticks to worldwide laws and agreements about sending criminals back. UAE does not have extradition deals with every country, but it works with INTERPOL systems and legal teams from other countries when fast action is needed for public safety.
In this case, the red notice worked as an official reason for quick steps by law enforcement. Chinese law officers thanked the UAE, saying sending back the fugitive proves how working together between countries helps police do their jobs globally. Authorities said teamwork like this is now critical because so many big criminals use online tools to commit crimes across many countries. The suspect now waits in China for an official legal process on accusations such as running gambling operations without permission, fraud, and being part of organised crime. A court decision could mean a long jail period for him under China’s strong rules that fight gambling and fraud.
