Eight men were sentenced to life in prison by the Abu Dhabi Federal Court of Appeal for their roles in an arms trafficking ring linked to the Sudanese civil war, according to state news agency Wam. The network allegedly involved weapons, ammunition and military equipment being supplied to the Sudanese army, as well as attempts to conceal the origin and destination of the funds.
The court also ordered the seizure of seized ammunition, mobile phones and communications devices, and the deportation of the convicted individuals from the UAE after serving their sentences. Ali, Saleh, Abdullah and Jalil received additional sentences for money laundering, while several companies were fined and had their licenses revoked for involvement in money laundering.
