Prosecutor examining case of ‘bogus investments’ in Wadi Musa

AMMAN — The Anti-Corruption Commission prosecutor general is examining a case involving alleged bogus investments in Wadi Musa in the southern region, prosecution sources said Wednesday.

They said the investigation is based on a letter from the money laundering unit and media reports on individuals who allegedly conned Wadi Musa residents into giving them substantial amounts of money to implement fraudulent investments.

The probe will involve all parties involved in the issue, in addition to the victims. The movable and immovable assets of those dealing with the bogus investments were frozen for the purposes of the investigation, according to the sources.
