The operation, aimed at tackling cross-border crimes, led to the arrest of individuals in multiple countries. Dubai Police played a crucial role by arresting an Italian national in the UAE who is a central figure in an organized crime syndicate conducting a major tax fraud scheme through companies based in Spain, Romania, and Estonia, with operations centered in Italy.

These entities allegedly committed fraudulent activities through e-commerce platforms, submitting false value-added tax (VAT) declarations totaling over €40 million (approximately AED 160 million).

Lieutenant General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, emphasized the force's dedication to collaborating with global law enforcement, sharing intelligence, and addressing complex transnational crimes.
