[ad_1]
Gold is not just a precious metal but its rates in Hyderabad, Dubai, Riyadh and other big cities of the world indicate the market trends. The rates of the yellow metal depend on various factors including geopolitical stability, wars, pandemic, uncertainties, etc.
As gold is also a commodity, its rates depend on demand and supply. In case of any uncertainty, the rates of yellow metal increase drastically as investors consider it save heaven.
However, during the market boom period, its rates return to normal as investors start exploring options that can give them higher returns when compared to gold.

Gold rates in Hyderabad and other cities in India depend on various factors including its currency exchange rates as the country is a net importer of the yellow metal.

UK convicts couriers who smuggled £104M cash into Dubai in suitcases on flights

[ad_1]
Abu Dhabi: A network of criminal cash couriers caught smuggling 104 million pounds (Rs 10,69,96,30,697) of suspicious money in suitcases from United Kingdom (UK)
UK’s National Crime Agency said on Wednesday, April 26, that eleven smugglers had been convicted, along with the ringleader.
Four of the business class-flying smugglers were found guilty on Tuesday— 26-year-old Beatrice Auty from London; 55-year-old Jonathan Johnson, and 44-year-old Jo Emma Larvin, both from Ripon, North Yorkshire, and Amy Harrison, 27, from Worcester Park in Surrey, – at Isleworth Crown Court.

The agency accused the smugglers of participating in 83 separate trips between November 2019 and October 2020, to smuggle bags full of drug money.
Smuggling method
The smugglers boarded business-class flights to take advantage of the increased baggage allowance, and check-in as soon as possible before departure.
Smugglers have concealed sums of up to 500,000 pounds (Rs 5,14,60,750) by filling them in coffee cans or spraying them with air fresheners to mask the smell from police dogs at airports.
The gang members communicated via WhatsApp groups called Sunshine and Lollipops.
The British police had targeted the routes used to launder money for suspicious activities in London via Dubai, fearing that the money would be difficult to track once it was removed from the country.

“The laundering of such vast quantities of cash around the globe enables organised criminals and corrupt elites to clean or hide their ill-gotten gains.”
“Cash smugglers typically work on behalf of international controller networks, who move the finances of the international drug trade, people traffickers, fraudsters and other criminal groups, making the source of the money difficult to trace.”
“The criminality this enables costs the UK billions every year, causes misery and ruins lives across the world.”
“This case demonstrates the continued commitment by the NCA to crackdown on money laundering and close the vulnerabilities being exploited.”
said Adrian Searle, the NCA’s Director of the National Economic Crime Centre.
Couriers were paid about 3,000 pounds (Rs 3,08,660) for each trip.

Dubai mother sentenced to life for torturing, drowning 10-yr-old daughter

[ad_1]
Abu Dhabi: A Dubai Criminal Court has sentenced a Russian mother to life in jail for torturing her 10-year-old daughter to death, local media reported.
The incident occurred on June 22, 2023, in The Villa area in Dubai, where the mother called an ambulance, claiming that her daughter had drowned in the bathtub.
However, after investigation, the police discovered that the child had bruises and burns on her body.

The police investigated and questioned the mother who lived with the victim, a two-year-old son, and a domestic worker, who left the country on the same day of the crime.
As per a report by Gulf News, during questioning, the mother denied her involvement in the crime and blamed the domestic worker for her daughter’s death.
After an arrest warrant was issued against the worker, the authorities arrested the servant at his country’s airport with the help of Interpol. However, he denied any involvement in the crime when questioned.
He pins the crime on the mother, indicating that he noticed that the mother deliberately abused her daughter and tortured her continuously.
A day before the crime, the servant saw the mother locking her daughter in her room.

As per media reports, the next morning, when he went to wake her up for school, he found her missing from the bedroom.
When he heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, he found the girl lying in the tub. He immediately informed the mother of the girl’s condition but was shocked by her calm reaction. Fearing that he would be accused of the crime, he left for his home country.
After the servant testified, the mother admitted to physically harming her daughter and drowning her in the bathtub.
The criminal court sentenced her to life imprisonment.
It is reported that the servant was referred to the Criminal Court, which sentenced him to one month in prison for not reporting a crime.

Dubai ruler announces new moon mission called ‘Rashid Rover 2’

[ad_1]
Abu Dhabi: Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, announced on Wednesday the second attempt to land on the moon, the rover would be called Rashid 2.
This came after the Japan’s Hakuto-R Mission 1 spacecraft, carrying the Rashid Rover, got lost moments before it landed on the moon on Tuesday.
“The mission of the vehicle carrying the explorer Rashid did not succeed in landing on the surface of the moon… but we succeeded in raising the ceiling of our ambitions to reach the moon… and we succeeded in making a team of our young men and women capable of managing advanced space projects… and we succeeded in building a space sector from zero within 10 years,” Sheikh Mohammed tweeted on Wednesday.

Sheikh Mohammed continued, “Today, explorer Rashid 1 is on the surface of the moon, carrying the flag of the Emirates… to constitute the greatest evidence of our courage… and our thinking outside the box… and our attempt to reach the moon… From today, work will begin on Rashid 2… a new explorer… for a new attempt to reach for the moon.”
Sheikh Mohammed added, “We are a country founded on ambition. We are a country that has not stopped since December 2, 1971. It will not stop. It will not turn around. It will not set small goals for itself. The coming is more beautiful, greater and bolder, God willing.”
لم تنجح مهمة المركبة التي تحمل المستكشف راشد بالهبوط على سطح القمر ..
ولكن نجحنا في رفع سقف طموحاتنا للوصول للقمر ..
ونجحنا في صنع فريق من شبابنا وبناتنا قادرين على إدارة مشاريع فضاء متقدمة ..
ونجحنا في بناء قطاع فضائي من الصفر خلال ١٠ سنوات ..
اليوم المستكشف راشد ١ على… pic.twitter.com/xWRtc619wa
— HH Sheikh Mohammed (@HHShkMohd) April 26, 2023
Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, tweeted, “The biggest risk is not to take risks,” says the one whose name bears the space center, ‘Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid.’ The nature of the space sector is a high risk rate, and we accept that.”
Sheikh Hamdan also said, “We have had the honor of trying to reach a new point in the history of the UAE… and we have had the honor of raising our ambitions so that space, its planets and stars will be its ceiling.
“And we directed Mohammed bin Rashid to start immediately developing Rashid 2… a new vehicle… for a new attempt to reach the moon, God willing.”

. @HHShkMohd once said: “The biggest risk is not to take any risk.” Risk is an integral part of any space mission, but that has never deterred us from exploring new frontiers of space.
Our ambition knows no bounds, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to undertake… pic.twitter.com/oD2RuoWfn6
— Hamdan bin Mohammed (@HamdanMohammed) April 26, 2023
Both rovers are named after the late Sheikh Rashid, founder of modern Dubai and father of Sheikh Mohammed.
The Rashid 1 mission was the first under the UAE’s local lunar exploration program, which took a team of 11 engineers at the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center six years. No date has been set for the second attempt.
