Three former Iraqi diplomats have been put in jail for allegedly stealing 650,000 dollars from their embassy in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, their lawyer said. Lawyer Jamal Al-Jaabi said Hassan Hatem Taleb, Mohammad Abdullah Jassem and Karim Rabat Mezban were arrested on Sunday and put in an immigration department prison. It was the second time they had been detained after being released following similar accusations in June in the aftermath of the collapse of the Baath regime in Baghdad, the lawyer added. |
