Anti-Corruption Commission Denies Suspects in Finance Ministry Embezzlement Case Have Left Kingdom

Amman, June 5 (Petra)– A senior official at Jordan’s Integrity and
Anti-Corruption Commission (JIACC) has denied reports circulating on
several social media platforms claiming that any of the individuals
implicated in the embezzlement case at the Ministry of Finance had
fled the country.

In a press statement issued on Friday, the official said the
commission had followed up on the claims with the relevant
authorities, which confirmed that all suspects remain inside Jordan.

The commission had previously referred the case to the competent
judicial authorities. The official added that, from the outset of the
investigation, precautionary measures were taken against the
suspects, including travel bans and the freezing of their movable and
immovable assets.

The commission reaffirmed its commitment to pursuing the case through
the legal process and ensuring that all necessary measures remain in
place pending judicial proceedings.
