Jordan's foreign minister has pushed back against a report that the country's monarch went out of his way to hide the purchase of more than a dozen luxury homes worth over $106 million.
The foreign minister told The Associated Press on Thursday that there was ``nothing secretive'' about King Abdullah II's real estate transactions over the past decade.
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, citing information from a trove (被發現的東西,) of leaked documents, reported earlier this week that the king bought the properties through offshore shell companies.
The leaked documents outed dozens of public figures around the global as holders of secret offshore accounts.
