Report: Arafat funnels $100,000 PA aid monthly to wife
By Nathan Guttman, Haaretz Correspondent
An investigative report by CBS television 60
Minutes will claim that Palestinian Chairman
Yasser Arafat transfers $100,000 a month from
funds directed to the Palestinian Authority to his
wife Suha.
The report, to be aired across
the United States on Sunday,
alleges that Suha Arafat, who
lives in Paris with the
couple's daughter, receives
the sum on a monthly basis.
According to the report,
Arafat has accumulated in his
private accounts more than
$800 million from aid originally appropriated
to the Palestinian authority.
PA Finance Minister Salam Fayad aided in the CBS
investigation. Fayad is currently trying to
track down all the PA-allocated money that
never reached its intended destination.
