Murder Suspect Denied Bail, Case Unfolds
Update: 2025-12-24
Description
Arian Miftari, a 21-year-old former university student, will spend Christmas in jail after a judge denied his bail request for murder charges. Miftari is accused of killing Mahmoud Karam, a 50-year-old underworld figure, in an execution-style shooting last December. The alleged hit was carried out on behalf of the Hamad Syndicate, a group involved in the states illicit tobacco trade. Despite Miftaris hopes of spending the holidays with his family, the judge ruled that the plot was too serious for release. Miftari and his co-accused are accused of waiting in a stolen Porsche and shooting Karam as he arrived, but he fought back, wounding both men. Miftaris defense argued for bail due to his young age, clean record, and tough prison conditions, but the judge denied it, citing the crimes gravity and the risk to the community if released. Miftari remains in custody until his next court date in March 2026.
