Corruption Allegations
Queen Rania has been accused of corruption and using her political power for benefits for her family such as nepotism. The Los Angeles Times published an article on the Queen's alleged corruption.
Gifts of land to the Queen's family have also been criticised. According to Agence France-Presse, leaders of 36 tribes issued a statement calling on the king "to return to the treasury land and farms given to the Yassin family." The royal court has rebutted the claims, stating that the signers of the document "are not leaders of the tribes to which they belong." It also dismisses the claims about the land gifts, stating that a check of the land registry would contradict the claims.
