Thursday 20/September/2018 - 11:18 AM
Members of his family linked to al-Qaeda, he used his influence to release them.
No one can question him for his enormous wealth or open any investigations into
charges of graft against him. Al Marri owns a hotel in Paris, a real estate
company and a villa in the most prestigious neighborhoods of Geneva Surprisingly,
he runs along with his family a center to fight corruption in Doha, Paris and
the United Nations, uses the center to hunt down some former Arab rulers
The French-language website of Mediapart, which specializes in investigative
reporting, revealed surprising scandals about the Qatari Attorney-General Ali
bin Fattais Al-Marri, who is surrounded by many suspicions of illegal gain and
illegal wealth after discovering his secret accounts at the National Bank of
Kuwait.
The French website said, "The past of al-Marri continues to hunt him down,
especially the relations of some members of his family with al-Qaeda, which
began to rise again." The site said in a lengthy investigative report of
the strongest legal personality in Qatar that al-Marri is in a tough position,
especially after a French newspaper revealed in February 2018 a disastrous
investigation disclosing the true image of the Qatari attorney general and his
wealth as well as suspicions of illegal gain and illegal wealth. A private
hotel in the heart of Paris worth about 10 million euros, a real estate company
worth 3 million euros and a private villa in the richest Swiss neighborhood of
Geneva.
The silence of the French authorities:
The French site questioned the secret of the silence of the French judicial
authorities on the opening of the black file of al-Marri, especially as it is
taking many legal procedures against some African rulers, who are accused of
any charges of corruption and illegal gain. Moreover, the site sarcastically said
that Al Marri and his family run a center to fight corruption in Doha and
Geneva.
In addition to all of this, there are charges against Ben Fattis al-Marri for
the file of corruption "World Cup 2022" and human rights violations
that continue to be committed in Qatar, which are always denied by the Attorney
General of Qatar, especially the case of human rights activist and poet
Mohammed Al-Ajmi.
Al-Marri denied any illegal actions being taken in this case, but attacked the
court when it reduced the sentence on the Qatari poet from life to prison to 15
years. He also appeared on Al Jazeera to confirm that Ajami deserves the
largest sentence.
In 2007, the Washington Post published a report revealing the relationship
between the Qatari Attorney-General and a member of his family, Ali Saleh
Kahallah Al-Marri, and his nickname "Abdul Rahman Al-Qatari".
He was arrested in 2001 in the United States during the major terrorist hunt
after 9/11 and admitted to being an important member of al Qaeda and that he
intended to carry out some terrorist attacks with chemical weapons.
FBI members found on his computer files labeled "Den of Jihad" which
included information on hydrogen cyanide used in some explosives and during his
arrest he was found with more than 100 fake bank cards. The site stated that
before the arrival of Saleh al-Marri, a member of al-Qaeda, to the United
States of America, he worked for more than 10 years at the Qatari Islamic Bank
and he was among the senior officials of the Qatari government.
The investigation of US authorities also revealed a relationship between Saleh
al-Marri and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, one of the planners of the attacks of
September 11. The site said that Saleh was released in 2015 after spending
about 13 years in prison.
The site made a surprise when it revealed that Ali bin Fattis al-Marri had made
contacts to free his relative from his father's side and that he had helped one
of his friends in America make these contacts for the release of his close
friend Saleh.
