‘Lebanon hands over Jordanian wanted for cheque fraud’

AMMAN — Interpol’s office in Amman has received a Jordanian suspect who is wanted for writing a bad cheque of JD7.9 million from the Lebanese authorities, the Public Security Department’s (PSD) media centre said Tuesday.

Amman’s office investigations revealed the suspect was in Lebanon, a PSD statement said, adding that officers contacted Lebanese authorities and provided them with information on the suspect before arresting him.

Amman’s Interpol sent a security mission to Lebanon and accompanied the suspect back to the Kingdom, referring him to court, which ordered his detention over the cheque and four other local cases, the PSD added.
