    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.illicitfinance.com/member_profile.asp?PF=1" rel="nofollow">IWCentre</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> Hamas and Palestinian Authority Corruption<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 09 Feb 2010 at 22:51<br /><br />Interesting article in Jerusalem Post <a href="http://www.jpost.com/LandedPages/PrintArticle.aspx?id=168243" target="_blank">http://www.jpost.com/LandedPages/PrintArticle.aspx?id=168243</A><DIV></DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Focus is around the financial corruption within the Palestinian Authority.&nbsp; The Anti-Corruption Department in the PA’s General Intelligence Service (GIS)&nbsp;have evidently found that “Some of the most senior Palestinian officials didn’t have even $3,000 in their pocket when they arrived &#091;after the signing of the Oslo Accords&#093;, ...yet we discovered that some of them had tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars in their bank accounts."&nbsp; Further,&nbsp;"several senior officials had taken millions of dollars from the Palestinian leadership under the pretext that they wanted to purchase land that would otherwise be confiscated by Israel.” </DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>“Our investigations revealed that many of the purported land deals were fictitious transactions and we even forced one official to return more than $800,000. We had another case where a senior Fatah official and his brother pocketed about $2.5m. which they took from Arafat under the pretext that they wanted to purchase land in the West Bank before Israel lays its hand on it.&nbsp; Asked whether he believed outside donors should stop channeling funds to Abbas, he said his advice to the donor countries “is to follow up on their donations to examine how and where the money is being spent. We caught some officials who stole about $700,000 from the donors."</DIV>]]>
