In a significant crackdown on illegal arms trafficking, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has successfully thwarted a major attempt to smuggle weapons and military equipment to Sudan. Following an extensive investigation, UAE authorities arrested members of a criminal cell and announced formal charges against the suspects. The operation, conducted under the supervision of the Public Prosecution, involved the seizure of a substantial quantity of military-grade ammunition and the confiscation of financial proceeds linked to the illicit deal. The suspects were apprehended while inspecting the contraband inside a private aircraft at a UAE airport. Investigations revealed the involvement of Sudanese military authorities, including high-ranking officers and officials, as well as individuals and companies on US sanctions lists and Interpol notices. The operation was carried out with judicial warrants issued by the Attorney General, ensuring a lawful and transparent process. Authorities also uncovered evidence of covert brokerage, mediation, and money laundering activities tied to the smuggling attempt. The UAE has vowed to bring all involved parties to justice, with additional names expected to be disclosed as the investigation progresses.
