A newly released document has exposed yet another corruption scandal within the corridors of the “Presidential Leadership Council” loyal to the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen.
On Monday, Yemeni activists on social media posted a leaked official document showing a directive to the Minister of Oil and Minerals in the pro-coalition government, Abdul Salam Abboud, to disburse $10 million to Rashad Al-Alimi’s son, Abdul Hafez Al-Alimi, from the account of the Aden Refineries Company.
The activists denounced what they described as the crime of looting public funds as practiced by the pro-coalition puppet government, at a time when the people are starving.
The new scandal comes days after Al-Alimi was shown to rent out cars for himself and the Saudi delegation for a total price of 45 million riyals in just two days.
