We have confirmed that the authorities in Dubai, United Arab Emirates have arrested MIMOUN ASSROUI, the head of RIF TRUST, a seller of Citizenship by Investment (CBI/CIP) for Saint Kitts & Nevis and Saint Lucia. He is prohibited from leaving the Emirates after victims filed complaints about the company's passport sales. The company's alleged sale of fraudulent CBI contracts was introduced last year in legal proceedings in both East Caribbean states. We are advised that Mr. Assroui has notified McCLAUDE EMMANUEL the head of the Saint Lucia Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU); this news has not yet been released to the public in either Saint Kitts or Saint Lucia.
We have contacted government and legal sources in Dubai, who have advised that the defendant is cooperating with the authorities, and has been interviewed at length. One source has stated that he understands Assroui gave information to investigators about the operations of other CBI consultancies and sales agents operating in Dubai, as well as those located in other countries, and a second source included both the United Kingdom and Canada in the details he said he was aware of. We shall have further information in our next article.
We have previously reported that Dubai prosecutors are known to be cracking down on CBI operators in the Emirates of late. DUBAI AUTHORITIES PUT CHINESE COMPANIES SELLING FRAUDULENT CARIBBEAN PASSPORTS UNDER THE MICROSCOPE
