The Abu Dhabi Criminal Court handed down seven to 10 years jail term on eight people for money laundering and fraud.
Each of them was also ordered to pay a fine of AED10 million.
The individuals, identified as four Emirati men, three Syrian men and an Ethiopian woman, acquired cars illegally, sold them, and laundered the money.
The four non-UAE citizens will be deported after serving the sentence for running the scheme.
