Bribery in the UAE
September 28th, 2009 by Zack
The Khaleej Times is reporting that the UAE has seen 36 cases of public bribery this year, most involving traffic police. Last year saw only 37 cases and the rise has prompted Dubai police to step up efforts to arrest both the seeker and the giver of bribes. Rashid bin Dhaboi Al Falasi, director of the Criminal Records Section in Dubai Police’s General Department of Criminal Investigation, attributes Dubai’s relatively low levels of corruption to “transparency, fair salaries and the absence of red-tapism in government departments in the UAE and in Dubai,” which ”paved the way for a near-bribe free atmosphere.”
