Electronic System For Blood Money Settlements Streamlines UAE-Dubai Prosecution Cooperation

The Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates and the Dubai Public Prosecution have introduced a new electronic system that handles blood money claims. The platform links prosecutors and insurance companies, aims to shorten procedures, and supports the UAE’s drive toward automated, low‑paper government services.

Through the Central Bank’s digital infrastructure, the electronic system connects the Dubai Public Prosecution with licensed insurance companies. This supports the "Zero Bureaucracy" programme by reducing manual steps, allowing secure data exchange, and improving how claims are processed and monitored across both financial and judicial bodies.

A Memorandum of Understanding formalises this cooperation. The agreement sets a framework to enhance service efficiency and clarify roles among the Central Bank, insurance companies, and the Dubai Public Prosecution. It also seeks to align technical standards, internal controls, and timelines for handling blood money compensation cases.

The signing ceremony brought together senior officials from both institutions. Khaled Mohamed Balama, Governor of the Central Bank, and Essam Issa Alhumaidan, Attorney-General of Dubai, attended. The MoU was signed by Fatma Abdullah Aljabri and Counselor Salah Boufrousha Alfalasi, alongside assistant governors and senior representatives.

Fatma Abdullah Aljabri stated that "the electronic system for settling blood money claims reflects the CBUAE’s commitment to digital transformation and the development of financial services, in line with the objectives of eliminating bureaucracy in the financial sector, which in its turn contributes in enhancing confidence in the financial system, protects consumers, and strengthens regulatory oversight on the licensed insurance companies, while supporting the operational efficiency in both the financial and judicial sectors of the UAE."

Counselor Salah Boufrousha Alfalasi said that "this project represents a successful model of cooperation between the financial and judicial entities and lays solid foundation to accelerate procedures and develop the blood money settlement matrix through advanced digital solutions that enhance efficiency within the judicial and financial systems of the state."

By integrating systems and responsibilities, the new platform is designed to make blood money settlements more orderly and transparent. The initiative supports public confidence in the UAE’s financial and judicial infrastructure, while aligning with national strategies for digital government and improved service quality across the insurance and prosecution sectors.
