Who is ABU SABAH? The Man Who Bought a Bugatti Chiron To Decorate his Living Room & Why was he Jailed? [WATCH]


Balvinder Singh Sahni, better known as “Abu Sabah,” once filled his Instagram feed with flashy supercars and extravagant shopping sprees a symbol of his opulent
Dubai lifestyle.



But the Indian businessman’s lavish days have come crashing down. A Dubai court has ordered Sahni and his co-defendants to pay Dh150 million (₹358 crore) in a massive money laundering case that has stunned the UAE. He was earlier sentenced to five years in prison, fined ₹1 crore, and will be deported immediately after serving his term.



According to The National, which cited court documents, investigators uncovered that Sahni had laundered funds hidden in digital currencies such as Bitcoin between October 2018 and January 2019.

The probe by Abu Dhabi’s State Security Agency revealed that the scheme involved 30 individuals working with organized crime networks in the UK. Those implicated came from several countries — including India, Pakistan, the UK, Iraq, Jordan, Palestine, and the Netherlands.

Authorities allege that money from UK-based drug traffickers was funneled into digital wallets controlled by Sahni and his relatives. The crypto funds were then converted into cash and discreetly delivered to a luxury Dubai hotel apartment. After taking a 4% commission, Sahni reportedly deposited the remaining funds into his company accounts, completing a high-stakes laundering operation hidden behind a glamorous facade.
