Washington: The Embassy of Qatar in the United States on Tuesday denied allegations that American political consultant Alex Bruesewitz received approximately USD500,000 from individuals associated with Qatar, describing the claims as false.

In a statement, the Embassy referred to media reports published a day earlier by The New York Times and other outlets concerning a civil lawsuit filed in Florida by Derek Utley, a former business partner of Bruesewitz.

According to the Embassy, Utley alleged in the lawsuit that Bruesewitz had received approximately $500,000 from individuals associated with Qatar.

It stressed that Bruesewitz had received no money from the State of Qatar or at its direction.

The Embassy further stated that no evidence had been cited to support the allegation and criticised The New York Times for not contacting Qatar's representatives for comment before publishing the report.

The Embassy added that it had advised Utley's lawyers to correct what it described as a misrepresentation to the court
