The Jordanian Public Prosecution has begun summoning individuals accused of concealing properties and assets belonging to the banned Muslim Brotherhood group, according to an informed source cited by the Jordan News Agency (Petra).

This move follows the expiration of a one-month grace period set by the Ministry of Social Development’s Committee for the Dissolution of the Brotherhood, which had urged all individuals holding Brotherhood assets to come forward and settle their legal status by June 14.
According to the source, several individuals voluntarily submitted declarations to the committee, affirming that they do not own movable or immovable assets but were merely holding them on behalf of the Brotherhood. As a result, these properties were legally transferred to the Associations Support Fund, in accordance with Article 25 of the current Associations Law.
The source added that some co-owners of land and real estate shares admitted that they were not the true owners but had been entrusted with these assets by the banned group. However, others denied the charges, insisting that the assets were rightfully theirs.
In one case, authorized signatories on a joint bank account in one of the governorates acknowledged that the funds were not theirs but belonged to the Brotherhood. These funds were likewise transferred to the Associations Support Fund following legal procedures.
The source warned that anyone found concealing Brotherhood assets could face criminal charges, including money laundering, breach of trust, and other related offenses—especially if they deny ownership after being presented with evidence such as expert analysis and financial audits.
However, the law provides an opportunity for those holding assets on behalf of others to avoid prosecution by voluntarily confessing and relinquishing ownership of the assets.
