Prosecution orders 21-day detention of former club officials, investor in forgery case

The Public Prosecution has ordered the detention of the former president and secretary of a sports club, an investor, and five other persons in the Central Prison for 21 days pending further investigation.

The charges include document forgery and the misappropriation and destruction of public funds, following a formal complaint submitted by the current board of directors of a club located in Jahra Governorate, reports Al-Rai daily.

The accused are scheduled to appear before a renewal judge on August 10 to determine whether their detention will be extended.

The investigation is part of a broader effort by authorities to crack down on administrative and financial violations within sports institutions.

Legal sources indicated that the case involves forged official documents and the alleged tampering or concealment of financial records related to club investments and operations.

Further legal proceedings are expected as the Prosecution continues gathering evidence and testimonies.
