A court in Abu Dhabi sentenced an Arab perfume dealer to five years in prison after he was found guilty of pimping for several women and money laundering.
Police arrested the man after suspecting he was involved in illegal activities as bank records showed he made 119 remittances worth more than Dh300,000 to several people in six Arab countries over a period of 30 months.
Investigation showed that the man was using some female customers for prostitution for money and was also involved in money laundering by hiding the funds sources.
The unnamed dealer was convicted of pimping for women by arranging customers for them in return for large sums of money. He was also found guilty of money laundering by hiding his sources of income.
