DUBAI: The UAE has received a convicted terrorist from the Jordanian authorities, the Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported on Wednesday.
Emirati national Khalaf Abdul Rahman Al-Rumaithi was sentenced to 15 years in absentia in the UAE in 2013 “on charges of establishing a secret organization affiliated with the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood,” WAM said.
Al-Rumaithi was handed over to the UAE “in accordance with the arrest warrant against him and the agreements concluded on legal and judicial cooperation of the Arab Interior Ministers’ Council tasked with the prosecution of criminals fleeing criminal justice in Arab countries,” added WAM.
The accused will be retried on the same charges under the UAE’s Criminal Procedural Law.
