UN Report: Yemeni Ex-President Ali Abdullah Saleh Amassed A Fortune Of $60 Billion

Reuters: Yemen ex-president amassed up to $60 billion, colluded with rebels: U.N. experts



(Reuters) - Yemeni ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh is suspected of corruptly amassing as much as $60 billion, equivalent to Yemen's annual GDP, during his long rule, and colluding in a militia takeover last year, U.N.-appointed investigators have told the Security Council.



The report by the world body's Panel of Experts on Yemen echoes criticism by his opponents that Saleh's rule from 1978 to 2012 was marred by graft, and that even out of office he is fomenting instability - allegations he has consistently denied.
