Jordan has begun summoning individuals concealing assets of the banned Muslim Brotherhood group. According to the Jordanian news agency Petra, a well-informed official source stated that the Public Prosecutor’s office received files from the State Security Prosecution related to fundraising cases involving the banned group in the kingdom, which led to the detention of 10 people pending investigation.

The source explained that the ten detainees are held in correction and rehabilitation centers, while two others are under investigation—one residing abroad who has not appeared before the public prosecution, and the other released on bail.

The accused are charged with illegal activities and managing a financial network sourcing funds through unlawful means, which were spent on activities of the banned group and its affiliates.

In mid-July, Petra reported that the total funds transferred by the banned group and its affiliates to official relief agencies in Jordan amounted to about 413,000 Jordanian dinars, representing only about 1% of the total funds collected, which exceeded 30 million dinars according to investigations and confessions.

It is noteworthy that the Jordanian government announced in April the ban on all activities of the Muslim Brotherhood and declared it an “illegal association,” including confiscation of all its properties and closure of its offices across the kingdom’s governorates.

The decision also prohibited individuals from joining the group, promoting its ideas, or issuing any publications in its name or on its behalf, warning that violations would lead to legal accountability, including application of cybercrime laws.

This move followed the authorities’ announcement of foiling a “terrorist plot” and arresting 16 individuals. Investigations linked these plans to receiving training and external support to carry out operations inside the kingdom, attributing them to members of the group. The Muslim Brotherhood has categorically denied any connection to these plots.
