Read it:

Jordan sells the world stability, and its own courts tell a different story. A former intelligence director is convicted of having his department's seal copied so a businessman could borrow from the banks; a later director is jailed for money laundering; a banker convicted in his absence over Petra Bank's collapse goes on to sit in Iraq's government; a royal in-law is sentenced four times in absentia and stays in London; counterfeit cigarette factories run for years in a free zone; and the north loses half a billion dinars to trading schemes. Then the leaks, the border war, and the gaps. Covers Ahmad Chalabi and Petra Bank, Samih al-Battikhi and the General Intelligence Department, Walid al-Kurdi and the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company, and Awni Mutee and the tobacco case.
