GAZA CITY -- At least $700 million in funds from the Palestinian Authority's coffers have been squandered or stolen by officials over the past few years, an internal investigation revealed yesterday.
Palestinian Attorney General Ahmed al-Moghani cited 50 cases of ''financial and administrative corruption" and said 25 officials had been arrested so far.
He said 10 officials had fled abroad but that the Palestinian Authority was seeking their extradition.
