Corruption charges against Dahlan dismissed
A Palestinian court dismisses a high-profile corruption case against exiled Gaza strongman Mohammed Dahlan, one of his lawyers tells AFP.
Speaking after the hearing, Sevag Torossian says the Ramallah-based corruption court had ruled that the charges against Dahlan — once a leading figure in the Palestinian Fatah movement — were “inadmissable,” in a move the lawyer hailed as a “great victory.”
