Authorities take legal action against entities linked to banned Muslim Brotherhood — official
The source said that a cybersecurity firm allegedly linked to the banned group failed to disclose its true beneficiary, in violation of legal requirements, and committed additional infractions. Consequently, the Companies Registrar has referred the case to the Public Prosecutor, the source added.
In a separate case, the Companies Control Department had requested the State Litigation Attorney to initiate compulsory liquidation procedures for Dar Sabeel for Press and Distribution, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The company reportedly suffered losses exceeding twice its capital, failed to declare its actual beneficiary, did not fully pay its capital, and neglected to submit its annual financial statements.
Meanwhile, an association based in Ain Al Basha had voluntarily decided to dissolve itself.
Authorities reiterated that efforts were ongoing to monitor the activities and ownership structures of associations and companies suspected of affiliations with the banned group.

Aqaba port introduces floating gasification unit to secure energy supplies
AMMAN — The Aqaba Port on Friday received the floating gasification unit "Energy Force" ahead of its connection to the Arab Gas Pipeline network. According to a Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources statement issued on Saturday, the unit is set to commence operations next Tuesday, facilitating the gasification of liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. The ministry said that the development aligns with its vision of achieving sustainable energy security, securing the Kingdom's energy needs, diversifying sources of natural gas supply and meeting local market demands. It aims to enhance the flexibility of operational plans. Director General of the National Electric Power Company (NEPCO) Sufian Batayneh said that the company benefits from LNG to operate power plants. The initiative is part of NEPCO's strategic plan to improve the efficiency of the national electricity system and ensure energy security, especially during peak periods and emergencies, Batayneh said. He added that the Energy Force unit is a "key" step in implementing the cooperation agreement signed between Jordan and Egypt in January 2024. The agreement leverages Egypt's LNG infrastructure, including floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs), to supply gas to Jordan until the end of 2026, pending the completion of the new gas terminal project in Aqaba. The agreement provides Jordan a daily capacity of 350 million cubic feet of natural gas, with priority access and flexible technical and commercial terms, allowing gas usage without fixed costs when not needed. The arrangement aims to enhance system efficiency and reduce operational costs. This move underscores the 'strong and ongoing' cooperation between Egypt and Jordan in the energy sector, reflecting regional integration and mutual benefit from shared infrastructure especially amid global conditions that demand flexible and resilient energy sources. The ministry reaffirmed its commitment to continuously developing Jordan's gas infrastructure and strengthening Arab joint cooperation to ensure national energy security.

the reason TikTok blogger Suzy El Ordoneya was arrested in Egypt
ALBAWABA - Suzy El Ordoneya (Suzy the Jordanian) online game takes a dark legal turn. After getting many complaints about her, security forces arrested the blogger known as "Suzy El Ordoneya" (Jordanian Suzi) at her house in New Cairo. In the following paragraphs, we will discuss the most crucial facts and specifics about the cases she is facing. Suzy El Ordoneya is 18 years old, and her real name is Mariam Ayman. She lives with her family in the Matariya suburb of Cairo and is very close to her two siblings, Mawaddah and Mai, who both have special needs. According to her social media posts, Suzy is Egyptian; however, she stayed in Jordan for roughly 11 years before moving back to Egypt. Suzy Al-Urduniyya is quite well-known on social media, especially on TikTok, where she has over six million followers. Her provocative content has made her renowned, and her famous line "The street behind it" has made her very popular with many people. A preliminary verdict against her was made lately. She was sentenced to two years in prison and a fine of EGP 300,000, as well as a bail of EGP 100,000, after being charged in multiple high-profile instances. Some of the charges against her were that she used social media for unlawful purposes, joined a terrorist group, and spread false news on her websites. Some people also said that the blogger insulted her father on live television and then posted about it on social media. She was also accused of using her sister with special needs to make money by posting video snippets on her accounts. The investigations also looked at a complaint made by a firm against Suzy, saying that she had hurt the company's name and reputation on social media. Because of this, she was held for three days while an investigation was going on. The Matariya Public Prosecution then decided to let her go until the other cases against her were determined. It's important to note that later on, the North Cairo Child Appeals Court in Abbasiya decided to throw out her two-year prison sentence but keep the fine of EGP 300,000. The sentence was given because she openly insulted her father and used her sister with special needs to make and sell content. The decision was made based on legal reasons that took into account the defendant's situation and the size of the case. However, the fine remains in place according to the court's final verdict. sozy__ayman1 Instagram profile There is much debate over the line between free speech online and the rules governing digital platforms, especially when using family or personal issues to get attention or money. The case of Suzy El Ordoneya is a positive example of this. This case also brings up moral questions about what people publish and the need to apply the law equally to everyone when someone breaks the law or abuses someone else, whether it's a family member, a business, or even a follower of an online platform.
