Dubai Police have arrested William Pereira Rogatto, a Brazilian businessman on Interpol’s Red Notice list, who is wanted for fraud and football match-fixing.

According to Colonel Tariq Hilal Al Suwaidi, Director of the Wanted Persons Department at Dubai’s General Department of Criminal Investigations, the arrest is part of Dubai’s ongoing efforts to cooperate with global law enforcement agencies to tackle transnational crime.
