[ 28/04/2011 - 01:40 PM ] RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Rashid Abu Shabak and Sami Abu Samhadana, two chief figures in the security forces of Mohammed Dahlan, have submitted requests for political asylum in Belgium.
The men are wanted by the Palestinian Authority for involvement in a large-scale corruption ring.
Sources told the PIC that Abu Samhadana landed in Belgium some time back and is now seeking political asylum. Abu Shabak arrived Monday and has since been trapped at the airport amid a bid to get political asylum.
The PA has placed Abu Shabak under investigation and is demanding that he pay seven million dollars amid current investigations to find laundered public funds.
Abu Shabak handed in $150,000 and managed to flee the country to Belgium.
