AMMAN — Amman Preventive Security Department personnel have foiled an attempt by a suspect to sell a JD1 million plot of land using a false power of attorney, the Public Security Department (PSD) announced on Tuesday.

The preventive security personnel received a tip that a man had land for sale in a commercial area in Amman and claimed to have power of attorney to sell it on behalf of its owner, who was abroad.

The PSD contacted the owner to verify the transaction, and he told them the land is not for sale and that he had not authorised anyone to sell it.

PSD cadres identified the suspect, and reached him through another potential buyer.

The suspect confessed to falsifying the power of attorney knowing that the owner is overseas, and was referred to the prosecutor general.
