Dubai Uncovered

Short description: 2022 leak detailing property ownership in Dubai

Dubai Uncovered is the name of a leak detailing property ownership in Dubai. The data, originally from 2020, was revealed in 2022.[1]

It revealed 274,000 owners of 800,000 properties located in Dubai.[2] Of these, 191,000 were foreigners.[3] The data was originally obtained by Center for Advanced Defense Studies (C4ADS), before being shared with the Norwegian financial newspaper E24, who then lead the investigation.[2] 25 international media outlets co-operated to investigate the leak.[1]

Dubai has been described as "one of the most opaque financial hubs in the world", and one of the most popular destinations for illicit money.[1] According to Brussels Times, the leak revealed "a huge black hole in international anti-money laundering efforts centered [sic] around the Dubai real estate market".[4] The leak revealed that over 100 members of the Russian elite held properties in the city, including heavily-sanctioned individuals like Ruslan Baisarov and Ramzan Kadyrov. Additionally, internationally wanted criminals have been implicated, like Daniel Kinahan.[2][4]

The investigation[5] in Norway revealed how 85% of the locally listed owners of Dubai properties had not reported it to their national tax authorities as required by law.
