The Anti-Money Laundering and Suspicious Cases Unit (AMLSCU) is the Financial Intelligence Unit of the United Arab Emirates. It was created to enhance the actions of the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates (CBUAE) in support of international efforts to combat money-laundering and the financing of terrorism, and in fulfillment of United Nations Security Council Resolution No. 1373 of 2001, and IMF Executive Board Decision No. 144-(52/51). To this end, swift measures were taken by the CBUAE to search for and freeze accounts that belong to individuals and/or organizations identified as having links to terrorism. Moreover, the Anti-Money Laundering and Suspicious Cases Unit was set up at the Central Bank and strengthened by additional human and financial resources, and it became a member of the Egmont Group in June 2002.
