The UAE Penal

Federal Law No. 3 of 1987, (which applies in the DIFC) for any person including the DFSA, its employees and agents to disclose confidential information to third parties without having the legal authority to do so. This Article applies to all persons, not just currently serving public officers. However, it imposes more severe penalties on public officers if they disclose such information in cases other than those permitted by the law.
