Read it:
Dubai sold access — to its creek, free zones, gold market and towers — and for decades asked little about whose money arrived. This book follows what came through, from the 1960s to 2026: a bank manager who sent AED 890 million to a man promising to multiply it, a ruling family that owned most of a collapsing bank, a gold audit whose rules a government free zone changed midway, leaked property records naming fugitives, and the extraditions granted and refused once the world pushed. Did dirty money build the boom? In part. Covers Foutanga Babani Sissoko and Dubai Islamic Bank, Abu Dhabi and BCCI, Amjad Rihan and the Kaloti audit, Arif Naqvi and Abraaj, B. R. Shetty and NMC Health, Balvinder Singh Sahni, and OCCRP and E24's Dubai Unlocked.
