In July, Dubai Police also extradited two international suspects to French authorities for their alleged involvement in organised transnational crimes, including attempted fraud and drug trafficking.

One of the most high-profile extraditions this year occurred on February 7, when the UAE announced it would extradite French national Mehdi Charaf to France, who was wanted on drug trafficking and money laundering charges. The Federal Supreme Court had approved the request, allowing Charafa to face prosecution in his home country.

The UAE's growing track record of international law enforcement cooperation has also seen several other major extraditions in recent months.
