The Ministry of Interior successfully received two men wanted by the Emirati Judicial system less than 40 minutes after they managed to leave the country.
Due to the efforts exerted in cooperation with the relevant Kuwaiti authorities, a security delegation from the Emirati Interpol was sent to Kuwait in order to receive the two wanted men and bring them back to the UAE through Abu Dhabi International Airport.
Major General Khamis Saif bin Suweif, Director General of MoI Criminal Security commended the efforts exerted by the Emirati Interpol to follow up and address security issues by arresting the accused and following them internationally, anywhere in the world and bringing them back to the country.
He also commended the experience they acquired and the consecutive successes they achieved in showing the development of the Emirati security system and insisted on the efforts exerted to find the wanted no matter how long they remain in hiding or evade justice. In addition, he praised the current and continuous cooperation with the different partners in the state and abroad and the relevant parties.
Major Mubarak Al Khayili, of INTERPOL office in Abu Dhabi, explained that the Kuwaiti authorities have agreed to deliver the two wanted men, (H. A.Kh.) and (M. A. Z.) of Asian nationality, and accused of theft. He added that a security delegation led by an Emirati INTERPOL officer was sent to Kuwait to receive the perpetrators and bring them back through Abu Dhabi International Airport where a delegation from the INTERPOL at the Ministry of Interior was waiting them.
Al Khayili praised the cooperation of the Kuwaiti authorities to address this case; insisting on the UAE’s good reputation and status among the different international and regional forums on the different levels, in supporting the international cooperation and implementing the law within the prominent leading role they play to address organized crime. He also commended the efforts of the Emirati INTERPOL to address the issues and to arrest the wanted persons in order to achieve professionally the missions entrusted to them.
He said that the judicial system will always be vigilant in order to enforce the law and track down the wanted persons even if they run away or leave the country; so that they become a lesson to those who think of committing a crime, thinking that he will manage to get away without punishment.
Al Khayili explained that the wanted persons managed to run away to Kuwait after they commit a theft, noting that, as soon as information was received from Dubai Police on Sunday, April 29 at 3:00 pm, they directly communicated and cooperated with the Kuwaiti INTERPOL who managed to arrest them at Kuwait Airport less than 40 minutes before they left to their country.
He insisted that the success of the efforts exerted to address the case is added to the good record of the Emirati INTERPOL and its consecutive successes in tracking down the perpetrators, adding that the month of April has also witnessed another success in which a man wanted since 2007 was recaptured thanks to the huge efforts exerted by the INTERPOL throughout five years, in cooperation with the relevant authorities in the United Kingdom. These efforts have led to the arrest of a European man named K.F.T, born in 1982, who has been living in the UAE as a businessman. Dubai’s judicial system was looking for K.F.T. for theft, from a shop in the gold market and escaping the country.
