“Interpol’s Most Wanted Trafficker Ahmed El-Dakkak Arrested in Dubai: A Success in the Fight Against Transnational Organized Crime”
Interpol’s most wanted trafficker, Ahmed el-Dakkak, has been arrested in Dubai in a joint operation between Interpol and Dubai police. El-Dakkak, a citizen of Egypt, had been on the run for over a decade and was considered a high-profile target by Interpol. He was wanted for his involvement in a global criminal network that specialized in trafficking drugs, weapons, and humans.
The criminal network led by el-Dakkak was believed to have been active in several countries, including Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. It is thought that the network had ties to other organized crime groups and had a significant impact on global security. The arrest of el-Dakkak is a major success for Interpol and Dubai police as it is expected to disrupt the operations of the criminal network and lead to the arrest of other members.
According to Interpol, the operation was the result of months of intelligence gathering and a coordinated effort between multiple law enforcement agencies. The arrest was made during a routine check of a suspicious vehicle in a busy market area in Dubai. El-Dakkak was found hiding in the trunk of the car and was taken into custody without incident.
Interpol’s Secretary General, Jürgen Stock, praised the operation, saying, “This arrest is a significant achievement in the fight against transnational organized crime. It sends a strong message to other criminal groups that regardless of their global reach, they will be brought to justice.” He also highlighted the importance of international cooperation in the fight against organized crime, stating that “the successful operation was a result of the close collaboration between Interpol and Dubai police, demonstrating that by working together, law enforcement agencies can effectively combat the activities of criminal networks.”
El-Dakkak will be extradited to Egypt to face trial for his crimes. The authorities have said that the extradition process will begin as soon as possible. It is a reminder that even the most wanted criminals cannot evade justice forever.
The arrest of Ahmed El-Dakkak is a major victory in the fight against transnational organized crime and a reminder of the importance of international cooperation in bringing criminals to justice. The operation shows that with the right resources and coordination, even the most wanted individuals can be apprehended.
