The Attorney General of the Jordanian capital, Amman, summoned today, Tuesday, a number of individuals including MP Wisam Al-Rabihats from the Islamic Action Front party, the political arm of the banned Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan, following their receipt of funds and financial transfers from unknown sources in violation of the law, according to the Jordanian news agency.
A knowledgeable source revealed that the funds collected were not the result of any economic or commercial activity, and do not correspond to the nature of the summoned individuals' work or their sources of income, raising suspicions about their origin and method of receipt.
The source clarified that the individuals involved did not obtain the necessary licenses to collect these funds, but instead created and managed electronic wallets (Click) to receive amounts through several bank accounts, which constitutes a clear violation of Article 22 of the Cyber Crimes Law that prohibits the establishment of platforms for collecting funds without official licensing.
In a subsequent development, the public prosecution decided to issue an arrest warrant against MP Wisam Al-Rabihats after he refused to attend, justifying this by his constitutional immunity, which the prosecution considered not applicable since the parliamentary session is currently not in session.
It is noteworthy that MP Al-Rabihats had written on his personal social media page:
"I was summoned by the Attorney General of Amman to appear without clarification of the case, I ask God that it is not related to supporting Gaza," and he called on the residents of the Tafaileh neighborhood in Amman, where he won the elections, to meet to discuss the implications of the case.
Jordan's Minister of Interior Mazen Al-Farayah announced last April the prohibition of all activities of the dissolved Muslim Brotherhood group and deemed it an illegal association, affirming that belonging to or promoting the group's ideas now exposes the individual to legal accountability.
