The country's notoriously lax banking laws, poor control over its legendary gold brokers and low taxes have made money-laundering a $30 billion-a-year business in the UAE. U.S. intelligence officials said some financing for terrorists in Iraq moves through banks and informal transfer centers known as hawalas in the UAE. The port in Dubai — managed by Dubai Ports World — has been used as a transshipment center for the movement of arms and guerrillas into Iraq, King said. He added there is no evidence of complicity in this scheme by Dubai Ports World. niles.lathem@nypost.com nypost.com ======================================================== offshorebusiness.com With friends like these, who needs enemies?
