Poštovani Klijenti,
Zašto je Dubai svjetska prijestolnica MLM prijevara?
Iako je oduvijek bio na glasu da pruža utočište prevarantima, u posljednjih godinu i pol dana Dubai se učvrstio kao svjetska prijestolnica MLM prijevara.
To se poklopilo sa širenjem pandemije COVID-19. Dok je većina zemalja provela neku vrstu granične kontrole, Dubai je ostao otvoren za posjetitelje. To je dovelo do toga da se praktički svaka prijevara koja je željela održati događaje uživo hrli u pustinjski grad.
No samo to nije dovoljno da namami svjetske prevarante. Privlačnost Dubaija za njih je dublja. Dva glavna razloga zbog kojih ćete vidjeti da prevaranti hrle u Dubai su nedostatak ugovora o izručenju i nepostojanje propisa o prijevarama povezanim s MLM-om.
Dubai je dio Ujedinjenih Arapskih Emirata (UAE). UAE ima ugovore o izručenju samo s malim brojem zemalja;
Postavlja se pitanje kako rešiti ovaj slučaj kod ovakvog stanja stvari:
- Pokrenuti ga u jednoj ili više zemalja po prebivalištu žrtava u krivičnom postupku
- Ukoliko ne da rezultate napraviti prijavu Europolu
- Pripremiti dobru pravnu argumetaciju
Slučaj EGCM je pokrenut u Sloveniji, očekuje se pokretanje u Hrvatskoj. Radimo po proceduri.

Dear Clients,
Why Dubai is the MLM scam capital of the world?
Although it’s always had a reputation for harboring scammers, over the past year and a half Dubai cemented itself as the MLM scam capital of the world. This coincided with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Whereas most countries effected some sort of border control, Dubai has remained open for visitors.
This has seen practically every scam looking to hold live events flock to the desert city. That alone isn’t enough to lure in the world’s scammers though. Dubai’s attraction for them runs deeper.
The two main reasons you’ll see scammers flock to Dubai is a lack of extradition treaties and no regulation of MLM related fraud. Dubai is part of the United Arab Emirates (the UAE). The UAE has extradition treaties with only a small number of countries;
The question arises as to how to resolve this case given the current state of affairs:
- Initiate proceedings in one or more countries based on the victims’ place of residence in the criminal proceedings.
- If that does not yield results, file a report with Europol.
- Prepare a strong legal argumentation.
The EGCM case has been initiated in Slovenia, and it is expected to be initiated in Croatia. We are following the procedure accordingly.
