As part of the repatriation deal between Qatar and the U.S., a signed agreement stipulated that al Marri would not be allowed to travel outside of Qatar.[12] The Qataris also promised that if he even tried to leave Qatar that they would notify the United States immediately.[4] This, however, did not happen and al Marri was allowed to leave Qatar twice without the Qataris notifying the United States. He was ultimately arrested on visa fraud in the United Kingdom.[4]
