AMMAN (MEMO) – A group of Jordanian opposition figures have issued a statement calling on King Abdullah II to “disclose the size of his wealth and the wealth of his wife and family and return looted funds to the state treasury.” The signatories demanded the establishment of the “national rescue committee” and called for an open sit-in on 24 March in the capital, Amman.
According to leaked banking data, details of which were released this week, King Abdullah hoarded hundreds of millions of dollars in at least six different bank accounts in Swiss bank Credit Suisse.
