In May 2021, Qatar’s former finance minister, Ali Sharif al-Emadi, was arrested on embezzlement charges, and now he and other defendants will face a criminal case.

The charges against them include bribery, confiscation of public money, abuse of power, damage to public funds, and money laundering.

Al-Emadi was a well-known and influential figure in Qatar, serving as the chairman of the Qatar National Bank, on the board of the country’s sovereign wealth fund, and as the chairman of the board of Qatar Airways. However, he has not made any public statements about the case.

According to sources, the investigation against al-Emadi and other defendants has been ongoing for some time, and it has revealed some shocking findings.

The defendants are accused of using their positions of power to embezzle funds and carry out illegal activities.

The exact amount of money that al-Emadi is accused of stealing has not been specified in the report.
