UAE launches first electronic system to settle blood money claims

The United Arab Emirates has entered a new era of judicial efficiency with the groundbreaking launch of an electronic system dedicated to processing blood money claims. This innovative platform represents a collaborative effort between the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) and Dubai Public Prosecution (DPP), marking a significant milestone in the nation’s digital transformation journey.

The newly implemented system establishes automated procedures and electronic integration between DPP and licensed insurance companies through CBUAE’s digital infrastructure. This technological advancement directly supports the government’s ‘Zero Bureaucracy’ initiative by streamlining previously complex administrative processes.

During a formal ceremony attended by Khaled Mohamed Balama, Governor of CBUAE, and Essam Issa Alhumaidan, Attorney-General of Dubai, both institutions solidified their cooperation through a Memorandum of Understanding. The agreement was officially signed by Fatma Abdullah Aljabri, Assistant Governor for Financial Crime, Market Conduct and Consumer Protection, and Counselor Salah Boufrousha Alfalasi, Senior Advocate General and Head of Traffic Prosecution in Dubai.

Officials emphasized that this pioneering project enhances service quality, improves customer experience, and strengthens consumer protection mechanisms. The system ensures seamless settlement of blood money claims while promoting stronger coordination between financial regulators, insurance providers, and judicial authorities.

Ms. Aljabri stated that this initiative demonstrates CBUAE’s unwavering commitment to financial service development and digital transformation, aligning with broader objectives to eliminate bureaucratic barriers within the financial sector. Meanwhile, Counselor Alfalasi highlighted the project as a successful model of inter-agency cooperation that establishes robust foundations for accelerating procedures through advanced digital solutions.
