A responsible source at the Public Prosecution stated that the Economic Crimes Investigation Department has started an investigation in the case of a male and female citizen who opened commercial records and bank accounts and handed them over to a number of expatriates in exchange for a monthly wage, enabling them to invest in the commercial entity that belonged to them, exploiting their bank account and depositing sums of money they obtained in ways other than Legitimate and transferred abroad.

The results of the investigations ended with the issuance of a preliminary ruling by the competent court that included sentencing the defendants to prison terms of 28 years and a fine of 13 million riyals, the confiscation of funds transferred abroad that exceeded 685 million riyals, and the deportation of the accused arrivals from the country after the completion of their sentences.

The Department of International Cooperation is working on behalf of the preparation of a mandate to recover the money after the judgment acquires the final status.

The source emphasized that the issuance of these rulings comes as a culmination of coordination and integration with the competent authorities that initiated this case, indicating in this context that the Public Prosecution is determined to move forward in combating organized crimes that aim to harm the national economy.
