Disagreements have worsened between the leaders of the Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militia from the front ranks, against the backdrop of recently revealed financial corruption scandals. Informed sources reported that raging disputes were taking place between the heated leader Sultan Al-Samai, a member of the group’s so-called Supreme Political Council, and ministers in the dismissed and internationally unrecognized Bin Habtoor government close to the leader Mahdi Al-Mashat, head of the council and his office manager, Ahmed Hamed.

The sources explained that Al-Sami’i received threats from prominent Houthi leaders during the past few days, against the backdrop of his exposure of corruption cases before the outgoing parliamentarian in Sana’a, and his publication of documents confirming the involvement of the Ministers of Finance, Trade and Industry in the dismissed Bin Habtoor government. She pointed out that financial and administrative corruption by the Houthi leaders in Sanaa is one of the secrets of the group’s rule, and anyone who reveals or talks about it is punished, and there is abundant evidence confirming this.

The sources explained that Al-Sami’i tightened his guard and sent letters to the group’s leader, Abdul Malik, about the threats he had received. He also sent documents confirming the existence of corruption cases in his unrecognized government and from leaders affiliated with the Saada wing. Sana'a has recently witnessed the exposure of many cases of financial corruption, suspicious commercial deals, theft of real estate and other issues practiced by Houthi elements since their coup against the state, which are used by the group's leaders to settle accounts and improve their power and financial positions.
