Jordanian Public Prosecution Summons Individuals Concealing Banned Muslim Brotherhood Assets - Jordan News
The Jordanian Public Prosecution has begun summoning individuals accused of concealing properties and assets belonging to the banned Muslim Brotherhood group, according to an informed source cited by the Jordan News Agency (Petra). اضافة اعلان This move follows the expiration of a one-month grace period set by the Ministry of Social Development's Committee for the Dissolution of the Brotherhood, which had urged all individuals holding Brotherhood assets to come forward and settle their legal status by June 14. According to the source, several individuals voluntarily submitted declarations to the committee, affirming that they do not own movable or immovable assets but were merely holding them on behalf of the Brotherhood. As a result, these properties were legally transferred to the Associations Support Fund, in accordance with Article 25 of the current Associations Law. The source added that some co-owners of land and real estate shares admitted that they were not the true owners but had been entrusted with these assets by the banned group. However, others denied the charges, insisting that the assets were rightfully theirs. In one case, authorized signatories on a joint bank account in one of the governorates acknowledged that the funds were not theirs but belonged to the Brotherhood. These funds were likewise transferred to the Associations Support Fund following legal procedures. The source warned that anyone found concealing Brotherhood assets could face criminal charges, including money laundering, breach of trust, and other related offenses—especially if they deny ownership after being presented with evidence such as expert analysis and financial audits. However, the law provides an opportunity for those holding assets on behalf of others to avoid prosecution by voluntarily confessing and relinquishing ownership of the assets.

Jordanian authorities summon individuals suspected of hiding banned Muslim Brotherhood's assets
LONDON: Jordanian authorities have begun summoning individuals suspected of hiding assets belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood group who did not resolve their status during a grace period. Jordan's Public Prosecution is targeting individuals who are found to be knowingly concealing assets for the banned group and could face criminal charges such as money laundering and breach of trust, especially if they refuse to confess the truth after being presented with financial report evidence. The move follows a one-month grace period that ended on June 14, allowing those holding assets for the Muslim Brotherhood to regularize their status before the case went to the judiciary. During the grace period, several individuals submitted written declarations to authorities, indicating that they held, either solely or jointly with others, properties and funds on behalf of the group, according to an informed source who spoke with the Petra news agency. Settlements were reached, and the assets were subsequently transferred to the Associations Support Fund at the Ministry of Social Development. In April, Jordan banned the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood after authorities thwarted a series of plots that posed a threat to the country's national security. Individuals connected to the group were found to be involved in the manufacturing of missiles and amassing a cache of weapons. In mid-July, Jordanian authorities cracked down on the complex financial network of the Muslim Brotherhood, both domestically and internationally, seizing financial assets worth more than 30 million Jordanian dinars ($42.3 million).

In one instance, the source said that authorised signatories of a joint bank account in a governorate confessed the funds belonged to the banned organization. Those funds were also transferred to the Associations Support Fund following legal procedures. The source warned that any individual found to be concealing assets of the group may face legal action on charges including money laundering and breach of trust.

Jordan seizes property linked to banned Muslim Brotherhood
Jordan's Ministry of Social Development's dissolution committee has taken possession of a property in the Bayader area along with its contents after confirming it had been rented by the now-dissolved Muslim Brotherhood. The committee's head stated that it received a request from the property's lessor indicating that the building had been rented by the dissolved association under a contract dated Jan. 1, 2006. Upon reviewing the lease agreement, a ministry team visited the site on May 15. It found that the property was jointly used by the banned association and a political party, with a shared entrance and common facilities. The committee's actions are in accordance with Article 11(b), Paragraph 4 of the 2010 bylaw governing the internal regulations of associations. This allows the committee to inventory all moveable and immovable assets, as well as debts owed to and by the association, in preparation for transferring them to the Associations Support Fund, as stipulated in Article 25 of the Associations Law. According to this law, assets of a dissolved association must be transferred to an entity specified in its bylaws — either the Associations Support Fund or another association with similar objectives. If no such entity is named, or if transfer to it proves unfeasible, the assets default to the fund.
