Amjad Elias Salfiti, Martina Jovovic

Findings — machine-extracted (anthropic-batch:claude-opus-4-8); verify against the decision

Allegations against solicitor Amjad Elias Salfiti (including dishonesty relating to a property joint venture, false power of attorney, unauthorised claim, and false statements to court) and against non-solicitor Martina Jovovic were withdrawn by the SRA. The withdrawal followed the Tribunal's CMH decisions that the Agbabiaka procedures applied, preventing the key witness Mr Abuseedo (resident in UAE, elderly, in poor health) from giving remote evidence without permission from the UAE, which had not responded to FCDO enquiries. Without this witness, the SRA concluded there was no realistic prospect of proving the allegations. The Tribunal granted withdrawal and made no order as to costs. No findings on the merits were made.
