It is reported that Palestine will seek the arrest of exiled former-minister Mohammed Dahlan, convicted in his absence of stealing public funds, following its acceptance as a member of Interpol (see previous blog). However, Dahlan believes the charges against him, which were made 2 days after his rival President Abbas removed his parliamentary immunity, to have been politically motivated.
Dahlan is currently resident in the UAE, where he is said to have close ties to the country’s rulers. This raises some doubt as to whether Palestine will be able to secure his extradition.
