Unwavering compliance with applicable laws and regulations shall serve to safeguard The Falcon Unity L.L.C-FZ’s reputation and uphold public trust in The Falcon Unity L.L.C-FZ.
Therefore, it is advisable for The Falcon Unity L.L.C-FZ to establish an anti-money laundering (AML) policy that delineates the prescribed measures to be observed, aiming to ensure the efficient execution of guidelines that support the attainment of overarching organizational goals, while guaranteeing conformity with the regulatory structure governing designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBP) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The scope of the AML policy should encompass all entities in which The Falcon Unity L.L.C-FZ holds ownership interests.
As per the provisions outlined in Article 2 of the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Law, the offense of money laundering is defined as the engagement in any of the following activities with the knowledge that the funds involved are derived from a criminal act:
It is essential to note that money laundering is always an intentional act and cannot be committed through mere negligence. However, The Falcon Unity L.L.C-FZ acknowledges that acts exhibiting gross negligence, particularly those involving the failure to report suspicions of criminality to the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), may incur criminal liability.
The laws which The Falcon Unity L.L.C-FZ is subjected to and with which The Falcon Unity L.L.C-FZ comply:
Pursuant to the Regulations, it is mandated for financial institutions in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to adopt a risk-based approach in order to fulfill their legal obligations. This requirement applies to various activities such as customer onboarding and conducting periodic anti-money laundering (AML) assessments throughout the course of business operations. The Falcon Unity L.L.C-FZ is fully committed to implementing a robust and meticulous risk-based compliance program, in strict accordance with both legal mandates and industry-leading best practices.
The oversight of reporting and probing suspected illicit financial conduct in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) falls within the purview of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) operating under the UAE Central Bank. The Public Prosecution retains the authority to initiate legal proceedings pertaining to these offenses, which are adjudicated within the criminal courts system.
The Regulations do not provide any legally established defenses specific to charges of money laundering. The defenses applicable under United Arab Emirates (UAE) law for money laundering charges are not distinct from those available for any other criminal offense.
It is important to note that criminal proceedings related to money laundering cannot be resolved through settlement or plea agreements. Once the Public Prosecutor determines that actions amount to a money laundering offense, prosecutorial discretion is not allowed, and the Public Prosecutor is obligated to refer the case to the criminal courts.
The Falcon Unity L.L.C-FZ has implemented a transaction monitoring system designed to identify any transactions that appear unusual or raise suspicion. On a daily basis, transaction reports in .csv format are downloaded and subjected to manual review. However, with the aim of enhancing efficiency and effectiveness, The Falcon Unity L.L.C-FZ intends to deploy an automated transaction monitoring system by the year 2025. Currently, the manual review process is facilitated through the utilization of the ‘Veriff’ Identity Verification Service.
As an entity operating within the retail business-to-consumer (B2C) model, The Falcon Unity L.L.C-FZ’s transactions predominantly involve individual transactions ranging from $9 to $999. In adherence to the legal obligations, meticulous manual approval process is diligently undertaken for each transaction, employing the principles of due diligence.

By diligently scrutinizing and individually approving every transaction, The Falcon Unity L.L.C-FZ aims to safeguard business operations and maintain compliance with relevant regulations and standards governing the prevention of money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activities.
The Falcon Unity L.L.C-FZ fulfills its obligation to report any transactions deemed suspicious to the appropriate authority through the established channel of email communication. Such transactions are promptly reported to The Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates, utilizing the intermediary service of our designated banking institution, Bank Mashreq Bank PSC, to facilitate the transmission of the requisite information.
Although The Falcon Unity L.L.C-FZ is currently in the third year of its operational existence, a robust and diligent approach to document retention has been implemented. Consequently, all relevant records and documents shall be securely preserved for a minimum period of five years, in adherence to legal and regulatory requirements.

With an emphasis on comprehensive risk assessment, due diligence is conducted thoroughly on the customers subsequent to evaluating their risk rating. This process allows to effectively assess and mitigate potential risks associated with the clientele in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory frameworks.
In situations where there is non-compliance with the established standards, the Regulations offer administrative sanctions to ensure the appropriate implementation of the regulatory framework. These sanctions may include various measures such as warnings, monetary fines, limitations or suspension of business activities, apprehension of board members and senior management who are held accountable for violating the regulations, as well as curtailment of the authority of the board and senior management through the appointment of a temporary observer.
In the event of a conviction for a money laundering offense, the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Law prescribes punitive measures which encompass financial penalties ranging from AED 100,000 to AED 10 million, along with the possibility of imprisonment for a period of up to 10 years.
