Arrest of the accused of stealing Najwa Al-Masaeed's money

In a new development in the case that has sparked public opinion, Jordanian poet and media personality Najwa Al-Masaeed announced via her Snapchat account that the suspect accused of stealing five million Emirati dirhams from her had been arrested after an intensive security investigation that lasted only 48 hours.

Najwa Al-Masaeed praised the efforts of the Jordanian Public Security and Criminal Investigation Department, stressing that the raid, which took place at dawn the day after the incident, resulted in the recovery of only 600 dirhams, while investigations are ongoing to recover the remaining amount.

Najwa Al-Masaeed: What hurts me most is treachery and betrayal.

In her first appearance after the incident, Al-Masaeed appeared before her followers, emotional and crying, noting that what hurt her most was not the loss of money, but the treachery and betrayal by the person from whom she least expected this action.

She said the amount was large, but she believed that earthly and heavenly justice would take its course, adding: “Money can be compensated, but treachery cannot be forgotten, and justice that is not taken in its proper place is deadly.”

Clarification of the success of the actual amount stolen

In a later clip, Al-Masaeed was keen to correct the exaggerated figures that had been circulated, confirming that the stolen amount was not 10 million or 5 million Jordanian dinars as had been rumored, but rather 5 million Emirati dirhams specifically.

She added that she had not been defrauded, as some had claimed, but rather had been robbed outright, explaining that part of the money had been converted into Jordanian dinars before the incident.

Najwa Al-Masaeed: I did not deserve this treatment.

Al-Masaeed concluded her speech with a sincere expression of pain and disappointment, saying that she spent the night crying not over the money, but over the broken trust.

She added, "I did not deserve this treatment, but God's will be done." She also affirmed her continued confidence in the Jordanian security services and in justice, which will soon restore her rights.
