Sharjah Police hand over wanted individuals to Nepalese and Uzbek authorities on fraud charges

In a significant step reflecting the UAE’s strong commitment to combating international crime, the Sharjah Police General Command, represented by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), in co-ordination with the Ministry of Interior, successfully arrested two individuals wanted by Interpol in connection with major fraud cases.

The first suspect was wanted by Uzbek authorities, while the second was wanted by Nepalese authorities. Both individuals were the subject of Interpol Red Notices, which are international requests issued to locate and provisionally arrest persons pending extradition.

Authorities confirmed that the arrests were carried out with high efficiency and in line with international policing standards. Following their arrest, the suspects were handed over through extradition procedures conducted under the UAE’s legal and judicial frameworks. The process was completed after an extradition order was issued by the Minister of Justice, ensuring full compliance with international law.

Brigadier officials noted that this operation underscores the UAE’s ongoing efforts to deny fugitives safe haven and its dedication to upholding global security partnerships. By co-operating closely with Interpol and the judicial authorities of Uzbekistan and Nepal, the UAE reaffirmed its pivotal role in strengthening international law enforcement collaboration.

The Ministry of Interior emphasized that such measures are part of the country’s wider strategy to combat fraud crimes, financial offences, and cross-border criminal networks. It also highlighted the UAE’s commitment to protecting its financial systems, maintaining public trust, and contributing to international efforts aimed at ensuring that criminals cannot evade justice by crossing borders.

Officials stressed that the UAE, through its police forces and judicial institutions, will continue to work hand-in-hand with international partners to pursue fugitives, dismantle fraudulent operations, and promote global security and stability.
