The following persons of interest appear in a private database compiled by real estate and property professionals, provided to C4ADS, and shared with OCCRP. The UAE real estate data — which appears to mostly represent ownership but also leasing of properties — is believed to have been generated between 2014 and 2016. The data is assessed as credible, but it does not constitute evidence of the same quality as an official property deed. Though most of the individuals in the database didn’t respond to requests for comment, the names have been verified using addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and interviews. Their inclusion on the list does not, in itself, imply any wrongdoing.
