Sacked Hamas-led Palestinian national unity government pledged on Sunday to release documents to accuse a number of Palestinian National Authority's (PNA) "senior symbols of taking hold of the Palestinian people's possessions."
The office of deposed Prime Minister Ismail Haneya revealed the decision in a statement, saying that the sacked coalition government "will arrange the documents and the files for legal actions."
The legal actions aim at "prosecuting those persons and bring the money back to the PNA which will return them to the Palestinian people," said the statement.
The documents will charge the senior security chiefs with looting "people's food and land."
Earlier, Hamas said that it seized a large amount of similar secret documents when it took over the security compounds in Gaza Strip on June 14 after fierce fighting with Fatah movement.
Following Gaza's fall into Hamas, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas dissolved the Fatah-Hamas unity government, which took office on March 17, and sworn in an emergency cabinet without Hamas in Ramallah, which was rejected by Hamas as "illegitimate."
