The UAE has extradited two international fugitives to France and Belgium, as part of the country’s continued efforts to combat organized crime, the Ministry of Interior said on Friday.
The two fugitives were apprehended by Dubai Police based on Red Notices issued against them by the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol).
One of the arrested is among the most wanted individuals by French authorities on charges of drug trafficking within an organized criminal network operating across several European countries, where he served as the main assistant to the organization’s leader.
The other is considered one of the most wanted individuals by Belgian authorities for cases related to drug trafficking and his involvement with a criminal gang operating inside Belgium.
