It was revealed that the account included funds derived from an account under the name of the Qatari Armed Forces, which is part of the bank account of the Embassy of the State of Qatar in Tunisia. Nidaa Tounes MP Monji al-Harbawi revealed previously that the suspected Qatari officer is 52-year-old ‘Ali Salem al-Jarboui’. He is a Qatari Brigadier-General and a military attaché in North Africa with the Qatari intelligence who supervises its missions in Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya. He has no diplomatic qualifications and has been directly involved with the commander of the Qatari armed forces, Hamad bin Ali al-Attiyah. He was then commissioned to oversee the Libyan refugee camp in southern Tunisia.
