Fugitive extradited to Jordan on corruption charges

AMMAN — Authorities, via Arab and International Criminal Police Department “INTERPOL Cairo”, received on Wednesday an accused fugitive wanted on corruption charges at a public finance company, after the international conditions required to extradite the fugitive were met under bilateral international agreements among states.

A request was submitted by the public prosecutor at the Jordan Integrity and Anti-Corruption Commission (JIACC) to INTERPOL Cairo, in order to bring the fugitive back, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

An official source at the JIACC said that JIACC’s public prosecutor ordered the man be held for 15 days pending further investigations at the correctional and rehabilitation centre of Juwaidah on the charges of misuse of office, fraud and squandering of public funds.
