Report: PA Officials Stealing Aid Money - 'Channel 10 reported on Tuesday night that a senior Palestinian Authority figure has accused top PA officials, including aides to PA chief Mahmoud Abbas, of siphoning off international aid money meant for PA residents for personal use. According to the report, top PA officials used alleged real estate investments – made in the name of the Palestinian Authority – as a vehicle to embezzle money and deposit it in their own accounts. The report said that the corruption scandal reaches to the "top echelons" of the PA.'
Noooh! I'm shocked. Shocked. I bet they had assumed that those mansions, $5k suits, and fat French bank accounts were becaused they were such good businessmen.
You can't get anything past those guys.
