The source specifies that besides Mr. Mahloof’s detentions outlined earlier, he was summoned by the police on 7 February 2016 and 12 February 2016 for questioning over his allegations of the President’s involvement in the corruption scheme. On 11 March 2016, Mr. Mahloof was arrested for participating in the anti-corruption rally. He was released on 17 March 2016.
