BEIRUT (AP) \u2014 Lebanese authorities detained the former Palestinian ambassador to Lebanon on corruption charges shortly after he arrived in the country, officials said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The officials said Ashraf Dabbour was arrested upon arrival at Beirut\u2019s Rafik Hariri International Airport late Tuesday. The two judicial and two security officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.<\/p>\n

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas<\/a> relieved Dabbour of his post as Palestinian ambassador to Lebanon last year after the Palestinian Authority accused him of corruption.<\/p>\n

The Lebanese officials said authorities detained Dabbour in Beirut based on a Red Notice issued by the Interpol late last year.<\/p>\n

Dabbour was reportedly involved in selling property in Lebanon that was owned by the Palestinian Liberation Organization that was based in the country until Israel\u2019s 1982 invasion<\/a> of Lebanon.<\/p>\n

The officials said Dabbour was being questioned by a judge at the prosecutor\u2019s office in Beirut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BEIRUT (AP) \u2014 Lebanese authorities detained the former Palestinian ambassador to Lebanon on corruption charges shortly after he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11595,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[27058,847,328,7833,1105,197,3375,4277,93,27054,9355,81,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-89059","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-lebanon","8":"tag-airport-security","9":"tag-beirut","10":"tag-business","11":"tag-corruption","12":"tag-crime","13":"tag-general-news","14":"tag-indictments","15":"tag-law-enforcement","16":"tag-lebanon","17":"tag-mahmoud-abbas","18":"tag-palestinian-territories-government","19":"tag-politics","20":"tag-world-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116487578475299753","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89059"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89059\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
