AMMAN — The Court of Cassation on Monday upheld the ruling of the Court of Appeals that cleared Ziad Saad, the former director of the Department of Antiquities, of all charges related to abuse of public office.

On April 10, 2013, the appeal court rejected the public prosecution’s contestation of a Criminal Court ruling in favour of Saad for lack of sufficient evidence.

He was accused of using his position to change the route of a street in Jerash.
