Extradition and Mutual Legal Assistance in Transnational Financial Crime: UAE International Cooperation Analysis

Author(s) Dr. Mariam Mohamed Hassan Alhammad, Mr. Salem Saeed Mohammed Eisa ALDEIRE
Country Nigeria
Abstract Extradition and Mutual Legal Assistance in transnational financial crime within the United Arab Emirates has increasingly drawn scholarly attention within global debates on international criminal cooperation, financial regulation, and cross-border enforcement mechanisms. While transnational financial crime has been widely examined in relation to money laundering, fraud, cyber-enabled theft, and terrorism financing, existing literature has not sufficiently explored the practical effectiveness of extradition and Mutual Legal Assistance mechanisms in addressing such crimes, particularly within the United Arab Emirates. This study addresses this gap by examining the legal and institutional framework governing extradition and Mutual Legal Assistance in the UAE and evaluating the practical effectiveness of these mechanisms in transnational financial crime cases. The study adopts a doctrinal research methodology through qualitative analysis, supplemented by peer-reviewed journal articles, international legal instruments, and authoritative institutional reports. It focuses on UAE legal frameworks governing international judicial cooperation, FATF reports, UNODC publications, and relevant United Nations conventions. All materials were subjected to rigorous thematic analysis guided by Transnational Legal Process Theory. The findings reveal that the UAE has developed a robust legal and institutional framework for cross-border financial crime enforcement. A further key finding is that procedural delays, evidentiary fragmentation, jurisdictional disparities, and technological disruption continue to constrain operational effectiveness. The study recommends procedural harmonization, enhanced digital cooperation systems, and stronger cross-border intelligence sharing, contributing to international criminal law, financial regulation, cyber law, and transnational legal studies, with future research focusing on emerging issues in cryptocurrency-related financial crime, blockchain forensics, comparative extradition frameworks, and technology-driven cross-border enforcement mechanisms.
Keywords Extradition, Mutual legal assistance, Transnational financial crime, qualitative research design, United Arab Emirate.
