Dubai warns off criminals

AUSSIE gangsters have been warned in a specially made video that Dubai’s reputation as a safe haven for expat criminals is a thing of the past.

The three-minute video was posted on Facebook and other social media platforms with Dubai police highlighting the arrest of two alleged Sydney drug syndicate bosses in a joint operation with NSW and the Australian Federal Police.

News Corp understands NSW and the AFP have been working behind the scenes for the past few years to help Dubai police to identify individuals using the city to hide from Australian authorities.

“They hated the reputation in criminal circles that Dubai was safe,” a senior Australian law enforcement source said.
