Abstract
The study focused on crimes involving breaches of trust and equality in securities trading, particularly in stock markets. These markets hold significant economic value for people, investors, and financial institutions. This research aims to investigate crimes that may occur in the context of the stock market and trade and have a detrimental impact on the national economy. The primary objective of this study is to ascertain the fundamental legal framework governing the criminalization of illegal acts that disrupt securities trading, determine the extent of criminal liability and penalties for such acts, and evaluate the efficacy of UAE law in safeguarding financial securities markets through criminal legislation. The research primarily examines crimes involving breaches of trust and equality, as trust and equality serve as fundamental principles underpinning transactions in the stock market. Violating these principles can have detrimental consequences, impacting both investors engaged in market activities and the overall national economy. Numerous crimes are committed in the stock market that undermine trust and equality.
