Investigations: Banned Muslim Brotherhood Collected Over 30 Million Dinars Illegally - Jordan News
Investigations: Banned Muslim Brotherhood Collected Over 30 Million Dinars Illegally Investigations conducted by Jordanian authorities have revealed that the banned Muslim Brotherhood group managed a large and complex financial network that operated illegally both within and outside the Kingdom. This network generated over 30 million Jordanian dinars in recent years, with activity intensifying over the past eight years. اضافة اعلان Key Findings: The group's financial resources came from illegal donation campaigns run by affiliated associations, investments inside and outside Jordan—both openly and covertly—and monthly membership fees from supporters domestically and abroad. Part of the funds was used to purchase apartments abroad, while other amounts were channeled toward political activities inside Jordan, including campaigns in 2024, and the financing of cells that have since been dismantled and referred to the judiciary. The Brotherhood used unregistered and secretive donation methods, particularly exploiting the situation in Gaza, raising funds without disclosing how they were collected or where they were sent, and without coordination with any international aid organizations. Authorities seized around 4 million dinars on the same day the government revealed a plot threatening national security in mid-April. The money had been hidden in houses and a warehouse in northern Amman at the request of a driver working for a Brotherhood leader. 11 individuals were arrested, while others were summoned and released on bail depending on their level of involvement. Only 1% of the donations, about 413,000 dinars, were sent through official channels like the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization. The rest remained unaccounted for. Investigations revealed the existence of a highly secretive mechanism for collecting and transferring money, involving Brotherhood officials and a person in Amman with ties to a foreign organization. Funds were sometimes converted from dinars to dollars and sent abroad via money exchange offices in Amman—some of which are now facing legal action. In other cases, money was physically smuggled or flown out of the country in bulk. One densely populated district in Amman served as a cover for donation collections, creating a sense of community protection and obscuring the group's real sources of funding. Annual steady income from member subscriptions and real estate investments (particularly apartments in a regional country) was estimated at 1.9 million dinars, based on early investigation findings. Illegally obtained funds were reportedly spent on: Political parties affiliated with the Brotherhood Media campaigns and protest activities Influencing union and student elections Monthly salaries and promotional campaigns for certain political figures aligned with the group The Brotherhood, which was formally dissolved by a Court of Cassation ruling in 2020, continued to operate covertly under various labels and associations. Despite the ban, it maintained a web of influence and financing both inside Jordan and beyond, according to authorities. Investigations are ongoing.

Syria: Ceasefire in Sweida Following Agreement with Local Leaders - Jordan News
Syrian Minister of Defense Murhaf Abu Qasra announced a complete ceasefire in the city of Sweida on Tuesday, following an agreement reached with community elders and dignitaries in the city. اضافة اعلان In a statement via the platform X (formerly Twitter), Abu Qasra affirmed that the army would adhere to the truce but retains the right to respond to any fire or attacks from outlawed groups. He emphasized that strict instructions had been issued to military units stationed in Sweida to ensure civilian safety, preserve societal peace, and protect both public and private property from exploitation. The minister also revealed that once clearing operations are complete, control of neighborhoods in Sweida will be handed over to Internal Security Forces, to help curb chaos and facilitate the return of residents and restore stability. 'We have instructed the deployment of Military Police within Sweida to monitor military conduct and hold violators accountable,' said Abu Qasra. Brig. Gen. Ahmad Al-Dalati, head of Internal Security in Sweida, stated that forces from the Ministries of Interior and Defense would soon enter the city center, which has a majority Druze population, in order to protect civilians and restore security after recent deadly events. He urged residents to stay indoors and prevent "outlaw groups" from using residential buildings as positions to confront government forces. He called on religious authorities and faction leaders to fulfill their national and humanitarian responsibilities by cooperating to secure the city center and stabilize the province. According to the Syrian Ministry of Defense's media office, armed groups were retreating toward the urban core to evade confrontation, as the Syrian army continued its security operations in and around Sweida. The ministry urged civilians to report any movements by armed groups attempting to use populated areas as launchpads for further attacks. Druze Religious Leadership: 'Statement Was Imposed' In a video message, Druze spiritual leader Sheikh Hikmat Al-Hijri said that a recent official statement issued in the name of the Druze religious authority was 'imposed upon them' under pressure from foreign powers and Damascus. 'Despite our acceptance of this humiliating statement, random shelling of unarmed civilians in Sweida continued,' Al-Hijri said. 'We are facing a campaign of extermination,' he added, accusing government forces of breaking their word and calling for resistance. Earlier on Tuesday, the Druze Spiritual Authority had issued a statement expressing deep sorrow over the tragic events in Sweida in recent days, which resulted in numerous casualties. The statement stressed the importance of bloodshed prevention and restoring order. It welcomed the deployment of Interior and Defense Ministry forces into the province, as part of state efforts to re-establish control and ensure stability. The authority urged all armed factions in Sweida to cooperate, refrain from resisting government forces, and surrender their weapons to the official authorities. It also called for dialogue with the Syrian government to address the consequences of the conflict and revive the functions of state institutions in collaboration with local professionals and community members. Clashes Continue in the Western Countryside Despite the ceasefire announcement, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that clashes continued on Monday in the western countryside of Sweida, involving Bedouin tribal fighters and government forces against local Druze militias. Government troops, backed by tanks, vehicles, and hundreds of soldiers, took control of the Druze-majority village of Al-Mazraa on the outskirts of Sweida and were advancing toward the city. Since May, Druze fighters have assumed control of security in Sweida under a local agreement with the authorities. However, armed Sunni Bedouin groups also operate in the rural areas of the province. The Druze population in Syria is estimated at around 700,000, mainly concentrated in Sweida, with smaller communities in Jaramana, Sahnaya (near Damascus), and limited presence in Idlib in the northwest. Regionally, the Druze total over one million, primarily living in Lebanon, Syria, Israel/Palestine, and Jordan.

Banned Muslim Brotherhood group illegally collected over JD30 million
Ammon News - Investigations conducted by competent authorities have revealed the involvement of the banned Muslim Brotherhood group in extensive illegal financial activities, both domestically and internationally, over the past years, with operations intensifying during the last eight years. According to details reviewed by Petra, the group managed a complex financial network funded through multiple channels, including donations collected by associations operating without legal authorization, returns on domestic and overseas investments, and monthly membership contributions from individuals inside and outside Jordan. Findings from investigations and seized materials confirmed that the group, whose legal dissolution and prohibited operations were affirmed by a 2020 Court of Cassation ruling, amassed tens of millions of Jordanian dinars under various pretexts. A portion of these funds was invested in purchasing real estate abroad, while other sums were directed toward activities deemed unlawful under Jordanian law, including assets held in the names of individuals affiliated with the group through direct ownership or stakes in companies. Authorities have thus far documented the collection of more than JD 30 million in recent years, with funds transferred to several Arab, regional, and foreign countries. Part of these funds was allegedly used to finance domestic political campaigns in 2024, as well as activities and cells dismantled and referred to judicial authorities. Approximately JD 4 million was seized on the day the government announced the foiling of a plot targeting national security in mid-April. The money was found hidden in homes and a warehouse north of Amman, reportedly at the direction of a driver working for a senior figure in the banned group. Subsequent investigations led to the arrest of 11 individuals, while others connected to the case were summoned and later released on bail. Investigations also uncovered the group's exploitation of the events in Gaza to collect donations illegally, absent any publicly declared and transparent mechanism ensuring the proper allocation of funds. The group neither disclosed the origins, amounts, nor the delivery process of donations intended for Gaza, nor coordinated with any international or relief organizations for proper fund transfers. Two main methods were employed to collect donations: a covert approach involving associations and 44 illegally operating branches, often utilizing the headquarters of a political party; and a public method that entailed sending in-kind assistance collected through the group's branches and certain associations managed by individuals affiliated with the group to the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization. However, only about JD 413,000 representing nearly one percent of the total identified donations was recorded as transferred through the Charity. The investigations revealed that the banned group employed secretive and illicit financial mechanisms to transfer funds abroad, distributing roles among internal operatives and an individual in Amman connected to a foreign organization. The amount of donations was not disclosed, and they were transported by hand, hiding them in homes and warehouses, and avoiding formal banking channels. Funds were often converted from Jordanian dinars to U.S. dollars before being deposited in a local exchange office. Legal action has been taken against individuals involved in transferring these funds illegally to foreign exchange offices abroad. In some instances, funds were physically airlifted overseas or smuggled out of the country by group members traveling frequently to foreign destinations. Investigations further revealed that one of Amman's densely populated neighborhoods was used as a focal point for collecting donations, providing cover and facilitating clandestine activities. Authorities noted the significant volume of funds moving through the neighborhood, although it was not the primary source of donations but rather a key collection hub for covert contributions. Preliminary estimates indicate the group generated approximately JD 1.9 million annually from established funding sources, including monthly membership dues domestically and internationally and investments in real estate in a regional country. Authorities concluded that funds acquired and disbursed through illegal means were utilized for political and charitable activities linked to political agendas. Expenditures included support for political parties, media campaigns, protests, union and student elections, and monthly salaries for affiliated political figures and their media campaigns.
