Documentation sources revealed, this evening, Wednesday, the release of a gang involved in the smuggling of foreign currencies from the city of Taiz to the Houthi -controlled areas, just days after the intelligence services announced their arrest on January 8th.
The sources reported that the release of the eight of the gang members, came by a decision of the security authorities subject to the Brotherhood Reform Party, before the case reached the Public Prosecution, which sparked widespread dissatisfaction with political interference in security and judicial affairs.
Military Intelligence had previously announced the seizure of a neurotic formation consisting of eight individuals, working under the cover of a fake company, where they smuggled huge sums of foreign currencies, most notably the Saudi riyal and the US dollar, to Dhamar Governorate.
Investigations revealed that smuggling was carried out using fake names such as "Abu Hadi" and "Abu Muhannad", according to journalist Faris Al -Humairi.
The rapid release of the gang reflects the level of influence enjoyed by the Islah party on the security and military services in Taiz, amid accusations of unannounced understandings between the Brotherhood and the Houthis that contribute to the continued currency smuggling operations, which causes great harm to the national economy.
