He said the money was loaded with three cars, which are guarded by military force from the region.

Al-Aqla confirmed that the authorities of Dhalia, Aden and Lahj. "They replied that they did not know them and I connected with one of the ministers and a deputy minister and informed them that there is money smuggled to Sana'a has been seized and we do not know how it came out without a legal way," he stated.

Aqla explained that a committee was formed from Brigadier General Ali Muqbel Saleh, commander of the 33rd brigade and the director of the fortification Ali Qassim Musleh, Sheikh Walid Al Dalea, Shaker Al-Badashi, Bakil Muthanna Naji and Hamada Al-Dhala, and figures in Dhalia to release the cars and bring it back to Aden Bank.
