Bahrain detained a government official, identified in the Gulf Arab kingdom's media as a state minister, for questioning on charges of domestic and international money laundering, police said on Monday. "An official has been detained on charges of committing money laundering transactions domestically and abroad," according to a statement which said the official was arrested late last week and his file transferred to prosecutors.
The police statement did not name the official but local media identified him as Mansour bin Rajab, a state minister without portfolio who was released for health reasons after questioning.
