A former top confidant of Jordan's King Abdullah II and a relative of the monarch are found guilty of sedition and incitement in a high-profile trial.
A Jordanian court Monday found both a relative of King Abdullah II and his former top confidant guilty of sedition and incitement against the crown, concluding that both men engaged in a conspiracy that exposed a shocking level of intrigue and estrangement inside the royal household.
Bassem Awadallah, the former confidant, and Sharif Hassan bin Zaid, a cousin of the king, each received a sentence of 15 years with hard labor. Prince Hamzah was not arrested, and Abdullah has said the dispute with him would be resolved within the royal family. Since June, the courtroom drama — dubbed Jordan’s trial of the century — has kept residents in thrall, despite the fact that its six sessions unfolded mostly in secret.
