Jordan Dismantles Illegal Financial Network of the Muslim Brotherhood

As part of the decision to ban the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood, which the West is currently considering classifying as a "terrorist" group, the Jordanian News Agency "Petra" published investigations conducted by the relevant Jordanian authorities regarding the existence of illegal financial activities involving the banned Muslim Brotherhood group internally and externally over the past years, with an increasing intensity in the last 8 years.

The group managed a huge and complex financial network that derived its resources from several sources, most notably; collecting donations carried out by associations operating in this field illegally, and from the returns of investments established directly and indirectly within and outside the kingdom, in addition to monthly subscriptions from inside and outside Jordan.

In detail, the investigations and seizures published by the Jordanian News Agency confirmed that the group, which is supposed to be dissolved and its work illegal, as affirmed by the decision of the Court of Cassation issued in 2020, has acquired and under different titles tens of millions of dinars, part of which was invested in buying apartments outside Jordan. The funds were also used for illegal purposes, including some registered under the names of individuals belonging to the group through direct ownerships or shares in some companies.
