Former Customs Chief Denies Role in 2015 Firecracker Incident
The South Amman Magistrate's Court has affirmed the innocence of former Director General of Customs, retired Major General Mindar Assaf, of charges related to the fireworks incident that occurred in November 2015 and resulted in the death of eight people. The case dates back to a fire that broke out in a fireworks container during an attempt to smuggle them, following a ban on their importation into Jordan due to an incident in 2009 that led to the death of a child. The importation was later allowed under certain conditions, then permanently prohibited again. Assaf explained that the court's decision was to dismiss him from any responsibility, thus closing the legal case filed against him.
