On January 9, 2025, Balvinder Singh Sahni, a Dubai-based Indian businessman, was sentenced to five years in prison for money laundering. Dubai’s Fourth Criminal Court ordered the confiscation of AED 150 million and imposed a fine of AED 500,000 (approximately USD 136,150).
Sahni is the founder and chairman of the Raj Sahni Group (RSG), a property development firm operating in the US, India, the UAE, and other countries. Upon completion of his sentence, Sahni is likely to be deported to India.
