Drake and Scull: Jordan court files indictment against Khaldoun Tabari | ZAWYA MENA Edition

The Public Prosecutor in Amman, Jordan, has filed an indictment against the former CEO of Dubai-based contractor Drake and Scull International, his daughter and a former executive director at the firm on several charges, including fraud.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the DSI said the indictment made against Khaldoun Saeed Al Tabari, Zeina Khaldoun Al Tabari, and Saleh Mustafa Muradweij, a former executive director at the firm, includes the felony of fraud in buying, selling, or managing movable and immovable state or public authority funds, as per Article (175) of the Penal Code and Articles (2, 3 and 4) of the Jordanian Economic Crimes Law.

Tabari was the CEO of DSI from 1998 to 2016 and has been accused by the UAE’s Public Funds Prosecution of several transgressions valued at more than AED 4 billion in addition to other financial crimes.

He left the UAE with his family in 2018 and has not returned since. In January 2020, Tabari was arrested at Jordan's Queen Alia International Airport in Amman on January 7 as he was catching a flight to the UK, after Interpol issued a Red Notice for his arrest.
