Defense attorneys granted two weeks to present final arguments in ‘tobacco case’ – Roya News English

Wednesday, the State Security Court held a session in the 'tobacco case,' headed by the civil judge, Dr. Nasser Al-Salamat. Civil judge Afif Al-Khawaldeh and Major Safwan Al-Zoubi were also present. 

The Public Prosecutor submitted his written argument, and the defense attorneys were given a two-week period to present their final written arguments.

On Jan. 6, the State Security Court began the countdown to announcing its verdict in the largest corruption case in the Kingdom- known in the media as the "Awni Mutee" case- involving a fake tobacco factory.
