Ammon News - MP Emad Adwan, who was repatriated from Israel on Sunday following a two-week detention on charges of arms and gold smuggling, will appear before the prosecutor of the State Security Court (SSC), according to an official source.

The source, who requested anonymity, stated that the decision to refer the lawmaker to the SSC was based on investigations conducted by Jordanian authorities with other individuals detained in the Kingdom in relation to the same case.

The source added that the other defendants admitted to trading and smuggling weapons, gold, and e-cigarettes in association with MP Adwan.

Shortly after his release, the Lower House of Parliament voted to strip MP Emad Adwan of immunity from prosecution.

House Speaker Ahmad Safadi told reporters following a closed House session that the move to strip Adwan of parliamentary immunity followed a request by the SSC which was submitted to the legislature by the government.
