Former Customs Chief Monzer Assaf Cleared in Fireworks Case
A South Amman Magistrate's Court has issued a ruling absolving retired Major General Mondher Assaf, the former Director General of Customs, of responsibility for the charges brought against him in the fireworks case that occurred in 2015. The incident took place when a fire broke out at Amman Customs on November 26, 2015, caused by a fire in a container filled with fireworks that was on its way for re-export after an attempt to smuggle them illegally, resulting in the death of 8 people. The case sparked discussions about the importation of fireworks, as the government had tried multiple times since 2009 to ban them, following an incident that led to a child's death, before allowing their import again under certain regulations. Later, a complete ban was also imposed. The new decision aims to clear Assaf of responsibility for the incident and the charges against him, in light of the ongoing implications of the case related to fireworks trade and regulatory procedures.
