AMMAN — The Ministry of Social Development’s dissolution committee for the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood has seized a property and its assets in Amman’s Al Bayader district.
The action was taken after it was confirmed that the premises were being rented by the banned association, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The head of the ministry’s dissolution committee said that the property’s owner had informed the committee about a leased building in Al Bayader being used by the dissolved Muslim Brotherhood group, adding that the owner filed a claim for unpaid rent, citing a lease agreement dated January 1, 2006.
Following the submission of the agreement, a committee team inspected the property on May 15. The inspection revealed that the premises were jointly used by the outlawed association and a political party, sharing a single main entrance and common facilities.
"The committee’s actions are based on Paragraph 4 of Article 11(b) of the 2010 regulation governing the bylaws of societies. This provision requires an inventory of the dissolved society’s movable and immovable assets, the preparation of detailed asset lists, and the documentation of debts owed by and to the society."
These inventories must be certified in preparation for the transfer of all assets to the Societies Support Fund.
This procedure aligns with Article 25 of the Law on Societies, which stipulates that “all assets of a dissolved society shall be transferred to the entity specified in its bylaws, which must be either the Fund or another society with the same goals and objectives,” the committee said.
"Paragraph (b) of the same article further states that if the society’s bylaws do not specify the fate of its assets upon dissolution, or if the transfer to the designated entity is not possible, the assets shall be transferred to the Fund."
