He is the former chairperson of the Interpol Commission for the Control of Files (CCF), and faces charges including forgery, offering and mediating bribes and fraud.

French authorities have praised the UAE’s professionalism and swift action, calling it a strong example of effective global coordination in maintaining international security.
