Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of the UK-UAE Illicit Finance Partnership Agreement on (a) Muhammad Tahir Lakhani and Muhammad Ali Lakhani and (b) other enforcement outcomes.

The UK–UAE Partnership to Tackle Illicit Financial Flows is focused on strengthening cooperation on illicit finance, fraud, asset recovery and the return of the proceeds of crime.

Since the partnership was established in 2021, the UK and UAE have worked together to enhance operational collaboration, improve information sharing, and build stronger structures to support joint law enforcement activity.

However, the Home Office is not able to comment on or make assessments regarding individual cases.
