Official documents revealed the extent of corruption practiced by businessman Ahmed Saleh Al-Essi, by reducing customs duties with the complicity of the Sharia authorities subject to the Islah Party (the Muslim Brotherhood branch in Yemen).
The two documents provided comparison data for two shipments of equal oil derivatives entered through the port of Aden recently, one of them is affiliated to Aden Petroleum Company by its owner Ahmed Saleh Al-Essi, and the other is a FAMBA company and owned by Ahmed Hamran.
According to the documents, the difference was the size of the customs, as the shipment owned by Al-Essi paid seven hundred and forty-two million, while Al-Hamran paid one billion eight hundred and eighty-eight million riyals, which is a big difference that reveals the size of the black deals passed by Al-Essi.
