Interpol detains wanted suspects

AMMAN — Interpol’s office in Amman this week arrested five wanted suspects, according to a Public Security Department (PSD) statement. Two suspects were arrested while attempting to enter the Kingdom. One of them is an Iraqi required to appear before the Amman prosecutor general for writing a $4.4 million fake cheque, and the other is a Jordanian required to appear before the West Amman prosecutor general for writing a JD260,000 fake cheque.

The other suspects are an Iraqi wanted by the Iraqi authorities for abuse of office and theft of public funds; a Palestinian wanted by the Saudi authorities for reportedly smuggling narcotics; and a Jordanian wanted by the Romanian judicial authorities for money laundering and fraud, the PSD said. The three suspects were referred to local judicial authorities to process the requests to transfer them to other countries.
